40bb min buy-in would be nice, but I haven't been too annoyed by the shortstackers myself.

I would like an ability to filter for only one stake, instead of just Low/Mid/High. And maybe be able to sort by multiple statistics, like highest to low first by plrs/flop then by avg pot. The lobby also won't hold the positioning I set for the width of the columns or that I have it sorted by stake and I have to readjust it every time I load the client, whch is annoying.

An initial timebank would be nice when you first sit down at a table. The points accrue at a fair rate I suppose, but when you first sit at a table you can run into a big hand and be left tight on time. A button to sit out at the next BB on all tables would be useful for multitabling.

I could also use some help depositing. Does Click2Pay work anymore? I go through to the sign-up page and it gives a message about registration being temporarily not possible. Your eCheck processor rejected my bank for some reason. Do you help players get invited to UseMyWallet? Its the only other option available on my cashier but I don't have an account there and no way to sign up.

thanks

Even if i requested a 2500$ check every single time my transaction got approved, I would still not be able to withdraw my balance. As an american, it appears like withdrawing will only proceed to be harder for you guys due to the legislation getting tougher. This worries me that I will have no way of ever receiving all my money. This uncertainty deters me from wanting to continue play on this site.

Can someone please pm me with any details about alternative withdrawal methods, and what are Carbons plans in the future to increase withdrawal times?

Poster on thread above claiming RPM raised his 2500 limit to higher amount. How is RPM able to do this and Carbon which is the Parent Company of Rpm has a 2500 dollar cashout amount if true

and merge would want to change this why? I have found the bad beat tables more easy to profit then non bad beat ones in spite of the rake for obv reasons. Plomaha is a good option not too many nit fests on those tables.

Atil and Chris... my apologies for stepping in your thread, but wanted to set the record straight here. Carbon Poker is not the parent company of RPM Poker. Though we are both poker rooms on the same network, we are completely unrelated to one another. Carbon does not own us and we do not own Carbon! Besides sharing traffic with one another - and along with the rest of the poker rooms on the Merge Network - we are two completely separate entities that function independently from one another.

Still ludicrous that Rpm is on the merge network. Rpm is not independent of merge because it plays on Merge network which as far as I know is owned by Carbon. Yet RPM has higher cashout limits then Carbon? Carbon is franchising out skins. It dosen't make sense that Rpm is unrelated to Carbon if playing on Carbons network which is Merge . Skins on merge like RPM are independent of Carbon? Maybe a more detailed explanation? When carbon has cashout issues this is also different from RPM which has its own cashouts and is not dependent on carbon cashout procedures?

I certainly didn't know any of the above until Seth pointed all of this out. It does make sense though since I am aware that RPM has different support live chat from Carbon.

Okay, I did research on previous threads and still don't understand what the **** is going on with the new carbon poker VIP promotion system. I have noticed, however, that the $2,500 monthly tournament for VIP water tier has been removed. Now there is a claim that not only will we be receiving a 2,500 free roll each month, but all water members will have the opportunity to win $7,500+ in water exclusive promotions for the month of march.

Personally, I have no ****ing idea where they are getting this or what they are talking about because I don't even see one water exclusive tournament/promotion on the entire website. here is a listing (copy and pasted) of what water members are supposed to be recieving:

Water

The premier level of the VIP program. Players on this tier are the elite of the Carbon Players. Dedicated and serious poker players with rewards and benefits to match.

* Win over $7,500 a month in exclusive Water VIP promotions
* Daily 15% Cash Rebates paid directly to your poker account
* Cash Exchange - unlimited exchange of 2,500 vip points for $25 instant cash
* $2,500 Freeroll on the last Saturday of every month
* Use VIP points for free tournament entry
* 7.5% Sidegame Rebate paid daily
* Dedicated VIP Player Host
* Receive a $60 coupon on your Birthday from Carbon
* Exclusive deposit bonuses and monthly offers
* Live Carbon Event invitations
* Create your own Sng's
* Live Chat Support
* $5 Check withdrawal

How to Qualify: Earn 10,000 VIP points in a calendar month

Freeroll Details

Time Day Type Name Eligible Cost
15:15 Saturday NL Holdem $2,500 Monthly Freeroll Water Free

So you are telling me, I have to earn 10,000 VIP points this month to RE-QUALIFY for something I was ALREADY QUALIFIED for? otherwise I get no benefits and possibly get reduced to the lowest tier? AND THIS IS YOUR PLAN TO KEEP PEOPLE PLAYING AT THIS SITE? BY REDUCING PROMOTIONS? **** idiots.

Wow then thats definitely a reason for players to consider RPM as is same network merge yet has higher cashout limits then 2500. When carbon has cashout issues this is also different from RPM which has its own cashouts and is not dependent on carbon cashout procedures?

I certainly didn't know any of the above until Seth pointed all of this out. It does make sense though since I am aware that RPM has different support live chat from Carbon.

My last word in here and then I'm leaving Atil/Chris' domain again as this is not the place to discuss RPM Poker. They leave our forum alone and I'd like to leave their thread alone, but your post is misinformed and I don't want any rumors to float around about RPM, Merge, Carbon, or any other skin on the network based on incorrect information.

Carbon Poker does not own the Merge Network. The Merge Network is the software provider, not Carbon Poker. All of the skins on Merge are provided software by Merge, not Carbon. RPM Poker is independent of Carbon, but not independent of Merge. The network provides our software, as they do for the 70+ other skins on the network, including Carbon Poker. I hope this sheds a bit more light on this for you.

I'll leave it to Chris/Atil to fill you in with any other Carbon specific information they see fit to share, if anything.

Best,
RPM Seth

way to miss the point, which was that we don't have the option of avoiding bbj tables. Also, it's fairly irrelevent that more fish play bbj than non-bbj when there are only 1 or 2 non-bbj tables going at a given stakes.

I am confused. Players don't have the option of starting non bbj tables? I see tons of tables at 50 nl , 25 nl . Why can't players start 100 , 200nl and above that are non bbj?

KNUCKL3BALL · 03-12-2011, 03:56 PM

Here is a good one.... Hit a Royal Flush back on March 3, and notified support through chat. Didn't think anything of it as it's only $25, 100x bb. Just realized today I have not been paid as the chat told me I would within 48hrs. Today, Mary Lou on chat says they have no record of me notifying them on March 3 and will not pay out. So the moral of the story is never use chat for support (usually useless anyway) but you have not record to defend yourself. Initially she said I did not play in the hand until I sent her the HEM history. LOL!

Help Atil?

This is what I was hoping would be taken out of my post...

are you really confused or just being intentionally obtuse?
you know that there are no bbj tables below 100nl, right?

as for being able to start tables, if you mean you can sit alone at a non-bbj table then yes. If you mean you can expect others to sit and play, then not very often.
