Wondering where Poker.com players went when the real-money games shut down?

The answer is Carbon Poker – one of the 50+ sites on Merge Gaming Network.

Carbon Poker is definitely one of the most interesting poker sites today, and judged by the constantly growing player base, poker players who try the site tend to stick around.

Merge Gaming is also one of the few networks still accepting U.S. players, so while Carbon Poker may be a relatively new site, it's off to a running start as far as player volume goes and the developers have added a number of strong features on top to keep the momentum going.

Innovative Software Features

First and foremost we have the excellent software. Crisp graphics and a quality multi-tabling experience make Carbon Poker a pleasure to play at.

There are also two unique features that perhaps won’t revolutionize the game but are really entertaining.

First of all, players can rabbit hunt when a hand is folded, which means that the next community card is revealed (although the hand is dead.)

You can also chose to show one card from the winning hand when it’s folded to you.

New Mac Version

In December 2010, Carbon Poker released a Mac-compatible poker client.

The new version includes all PC features such as rabbit hunt and show-one-card.

U.S. Players (and Fish) Allowed

Since U.S. players, and everyone else for that matter, are allowed to play at Carbon Poker, there are always new players signing up. And with new players comes easy money, which makes the games very profitable.

Game play is fairly loose in general and you’ll beat most low-mid limit games with ABC, straightforward play. With basic knowledge of poker strategy, you have a grat chance of making a profit.

Excellent Game Variety

Game selection is also strong with Texas Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud Hi and Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo, Razz, Five-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw, Triple Draw and Badugi.

As always, there’s most traffic in the Hold’em and Omaha sections of the site, both for tournament and ring games. But if you’re into one of the smaller games, say, Badugi, there’s always a couple of active cash-game tables and sometimes Carbon Poker hosts tournaments in the less popular poker variations.

Daily Freerolls

Carbon Poker’s freerolls range from $50 to $50,000.

A $50 freeroll start every couple of hours and is perfect for players who are trying to establish a bankroll from zero.

Once a week there is a $2,000 and a $10,000 freeroll and at the end of every month Carbon Poker hosts the grand $50,000 freeroll.

Our Verdict

If you look for a new site with a lot of weak opponents and great playability, Carbon Poker is a highly recommended destination.

The site is perfect for new players who start their first poker account.

hanks to the big sign-up bonus and the many freerolls offered, you can make a small deposit and turn it into a decent bankroll.
