Final Bad Beat payout hit on Carbon Poker
The final Bad Beat jackpot hit on Carbon poker for $552K as reported on a blog at the site.

Not sure what to think about this. A lot of changes have been happening with merge with P2P transfers shut down and freerolls going from $200 to $50 and now this.
What do you thing this means for the future of Carbon along with US being able to play there. Do you think they could or will shut it down to U.S residents. It would be a huge blow for us.
A couple of months ago, we discussed how Carbon Poker is getting rid of their Bad Beat Jackpot promotion. As CarbonRyan explained, removing BBJ tables was done to ensure a “healthier poker room ecology” where more players would be encouraged to play at the regular stakes.

Once again, this is the final Bad Beat Jackpot at Carbon and the tables will now be shut down. But fortunately there are plenty of other promotions to replace this one so we highly recommend that you check out what’s happening now at this site. One of our personal favorites has to be the Poker Maximus III tournament series. This huge event starts on November 29th, 2012 and is set to pay out a guaranteed $1.4 million over 35 poker tournaments.

This kind of worries me because we as US. residents are running on fumes for poker sites to play on. I would love to hear any opinions or other info you guys may have.

I cant speak about US players, if they can to play online poker or not in some rooms, the only thing i can hope it is that Romania to be able for online poker in future because governors from our country are stupids and they can take tax for the air or the water wich we drink. It is a stupid way to ban countryes to do things from where you can take tax. I agree to give some $ every months to be able for playng online poker eveyiwherei want.

I think this is a very bad sign some very serious downsizing has happened on carbon
FYI the current badbeat jackpot is at $33 according to officialpokerrankings lol...but on a serious note where can I find the video on how the hand played out?

The real situation is that the Merge network, like many others are going through some problems, since many countries are legislating taxes and recording with these poker rooms.
As promotions and tournaments algununos awards, especially freerolls are down.
are now motivating players to deposit and get privileges with the points you get when play money poker rooms.
Some good tournaments ofresen rooms buy ins.

ThatBad Beat Jackpot getting hit you also have to keep in mind it got built up because they do allow USA players to play there and aslo as Ben said they are accepting Visa payments I think all is well now I just wish Carbon liked me more lol. Pots

I thought US was the land of the free, but I hate the gov law on this... Why stop us from enjoying what we like. This is one of the few sites left and if these go that means we will have no more online poker enjoyment, I hope we get FTP and Stars back in the USA
