More than one $60 supersatellite to the $460 WSOP qualifiers per day would be good

StungEm · 04-23-2010, 06:16 AM

Please don't change the mini mode with the current software. Any of the other sizes are basically unplayable because they are too "busy" while multi tabling. If I just shrink the tables they seem fuzzy sometimes. Mini mode is the best option on Carbon by for, can manage to 12 table fairly easily.

One complaint is that the tables don't seem to pop up when it's your turn. Can't stack for this reason which is why I use mini mode. Maybe i'd be different if I could stack.. idk..

I should have been precise with my statement.....

It depletes the average player's bankroll faster than otherwise. As a result, that average losing player pays less rake to Carbon since his bankroll will vanish sooner than otherwise.

Bad beat jackpots redistribute money in an extremely inefficient way : taking money from the player pool and then handing it to a select few.

So money that could be going to me (as a winning player) and to Carbon (in more rake), instead goes to some random player who happens to hit a bad beat jackpot hand.

I recently created an account on merge. I love the site but the fact is that it allows people to buy in for 20bbs and rathole. If you have been following the online poker landscape you will notice that the majority of sites are phasing in new changes to buy in structures that effectively make short stack/ratholing a thing of the past. FTP made their standard buy ins 35bb min- 100bb max. I think you guys should really think about making a similar change to remain competitive in the market. What are your thoughts?

This might be a bit tight since the WSOP is around the corner (only 35 days to go!) but I will see your our Tournament Director can whip up. Thanks.

Thanks for your input. I guess we are going to have to figure out a way to accommodate both types. Also noted the pop up feature.

I totally understand your point on this one, but that is the concept of bad beat tables. We take a bit of the rake and put it in a pot that grows until a bad beat that meets our standards occur.

The reward is quite large considering we hold the record for the two largest bad beat jackpots records in the world! $725K+ and $1.38M+.

I have however taken your comment into consideration and passed it along, but to be honest, I doubt they are going to change this, but you never know. At the end of the day its a jackpot, just like any slot machine; a lot of players feed it, but only a few lucky player see the rewards. Thanks for the clarification.

I agree with you ilikeaces. I think its important eliminates ratholing and have these set requirements at all or certain tables. This would allow players and ratholers that are find with their playing style to continue as normal and those who don’t play at the increase bb tables.

This is something that should be fairly easy to implement and I hope we can get this out soon. Thanks for brining up a great concern.

Yes, you can deposit with eChecks into Carbon, but depending on your history it can take up to seven days to clear. The same applies to the deposit limit. If you have any problems getting it on, just PM me and I’ll take care of it. Cheers.

Make sure you look at HU cash tables as well. The min buy in is set even lower there, at 12 buy-ins on the merge network.

Thanks for the reminder! I'm going to be looking at all game types and styles.

any plans for adding security tokens?

Burdzthewurd · 04-25-2010, 01:38 AM

More live seat satellites, like 1x/week, and for the love of all that is good, MAKE LIVE SEAT PACKAGES AVAILABLE FOR VIP POINTS IN THE STORE! Carbon's advertised it since they opened the store but never had live seat packages, and only good can come with more Carbon players getting TV exposure at the Main Event and WPT events.
