Carbon Poker a good poker room, good software, good players trafficking, good tournaments, deposit and withdrawal faster and accepts US players ...

All the merge sites look pretty much the same to me but since carbon was one of my first merge sites I downloaded, it seems to be where I migrate to, since tilt isnt back up yet then will see the traffic go down I am sure.

Carbon poker is obviously the best merge sites !! even without alot of traffic

The update following Lock's departure from Merge is tons better than the old version I must say. I do like it, but I like Lock's interface too. They are quite similar

Well...i dont really like Carbon's interface..but thats only cause im very addicted to PokerStars'.... for me there is no discuss at all, i know that US players cant play on PokerStars anymore (at least for now), but PokerStars software is the best ever... everything is easy on PokerStars, and its interface is awesome...... ;)

You are correct after full tilt and poker stars we are all spoiled. You think these other sites would have caught on to this by now.

For some reason the quote thing did not work correctly sorry

I play better and like the look of cake 1.0 still better than anywhere else

What i like best @ Carbon(or RPM) is when someone sucks-out on the river & then types in the little 'ROFL' guy....yeah,i really love that.

Not my cup of tea.but its better than most but ft was my fav for software etc etc,and ive stopped playing stars as i hate it with a passion.

I do not mind it, just wish I could deposit on a merge site. Anywhere but there for some damn reason. I am Canadian, and my virtual card won't work there since April for the first POker Maximus, now they have Skrill for Visa, and I have a money bookers account, and cannot load it either to deposit on a merge site either. Guess I am not meant to play cash there, lol. Good Luck all.

@LevernC: Don´t understnad that. I do all my tranfers from and to poker rooms by moneybokkers / Skrill. Works perfect. I already cashed out from Carbon to it (even though I never deposited there).

For US-facing rooms, I think Merge is probably the most playable for most people. But, as someone mentioned above, I also like the Cake 1.0 client (though it seems to be disliked among a lot of people).

can't deal with those myself at all, I have speech bubbles turned off and don't see them anymore

Yeah at first after there upgrade i really didn't like it but being a US player the choices are slim to none after they got things work out its not to bad but i still miss my full tilt

Well for me they aint no better now then the last series we had, they already messed up are first game way to go carbon keep up the shitty listings you have

Carbon has improved a lot (actually, I was shocked how good it had become in the last update) but I still think that Full Tilt has the best software.

If i didn't care curt - i wouldn't bother - but you had the villain in me

I aint played online much before. But im defo loving the carbon network. Soft players always makes the site better :)

Do not understand why you want to find more players in this room. I CarbonPoker game for this reason, that there are fewer players and tournaments for several hours, I like it as is.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you've written here. You say you like a site because it has 'fewer' players on it? Why? That makes no sense to me at all.

Carbon (merge) has improved immensely since BF but it sure seemed to have taken a LONG time in doing so. I know they got alot of pressure from the USA regulars (MTT & Cash), as many of them were petitioning the site to update/upgrade the software.
It's a wonder they hadnt' done it sooner? I mean if you're going to attempt to compete, wouldn't you be looking to your competitors & see why they are leaders in the business?

I still don't like the Tournament Lobby on merge. Just feels real awdward to use (compared to most of the others.... iPoker, Cake, Ongame all have lobbys that are far easier to navigate (not to mention Stars & FTP of course, which are the best imo).

I personally cannot stand the merge network period. i think it sucks that as americans we are limited to such a small market. all poker rooms should be available to all nations. dont know why our government has to stick their damn noses in our lives

As someone else said all Merge sites look about the same. There is just one thing I do not like about them all, trying to find a friend. Even those they are listed and tell you what game they are in, it does not high lite the name but just take you to the MTT they are in.from there you have to search the play list. ANNOYING !

Honestly..i loved lock poker before they moved to their own network....they used to have verrryyy good guar games...small-big games!!! the software seemed really good at the time....i was very happy with it.....i dont know if its a mind thing but they were best imo....i started on carbon and ofcourse they were good in the begining...but then the bad beats started...yes there are bad beats all over....online/live....i dont like when people say...ohhh well ur goin to see more beats online b.c u play more hands...thats crap...the bad beats on the sites lately make ftp look legit....and that was by far the best site i have played on....now i tried hero poker a few weeks ago and im loving it...yes i know they are all merge...but there is something about the site giving back so much to the players like hero is doing .....i recently got 20 qq tickets and 20 ff tickets....im hearing that i will start to get other higher tickets... so far hero is my go to site for promos...yes all sites give promos but hero was the first site to actually give something for nothing.
