Currently at $373 on carbon and am working toward a 5k goal.
I am going to post updates after each session.
Starting at .05/.10 and mtts no more than 5.50.
Working on tilt issues and currently reading The Mental Game Of Poker.

Any tips or advice along the way is much appreciated.

Just got done with a 3:52 min session where I ran pretty bad.
I played a 3.30 mtt and basically busted bubble with kk < 77 all in pre
Played a 5.50 mtt and 1.10 sat and nothing exciting there.

The cash session was really frustrating. I played ev (bb/100) at 8.42 but net ev was actually -15.4.

I lost 3 80/20s. really frustrating but feel like I'm handling it a little better than I would have before.

Will probably play a session later.

Also if anyone can help me with how to post a HM2 chart I'd appreciate it.

How much did you deposit? I've heard of people having payout issues on carbon, have you ever cashed out with them before? I want to start frequenting carbon so I can play more than 4 tables which is bovadas max. How many tables do you play at once?

deposited $100 and play 6 tables normally. I've never got a payout so cant answer that one. I know for sure it wont be as fast as bovada, I've gotten checks from them in three days. I just like being able to use a hud and like carbons set up as well.

Just finished another session. broke even on mtts I busted a 5.50 and got 16th in a 3.30 for 8.63.
Ended up a few dollars on cash games just feel like I need to get better at knowing when to give up on a hand.

Can anyone tell me where to upload attachments?

I read in the faq how to do it but when I hit post reply there is no button for attachments like it says?

Good luck on getting to $5k.
What is your screen name? Interested in following.

I won one of those free rolls 2 weeks ago for $279, prior to that I had like .17cents on there lol. Currently up to about $425.


Is it just me, or does the action seem a juiced on Carbon??

I dont feel it is rigged, there isn't really much advantage to a poker company to rig their play. But could it be juiced to produce bad beats? The advantage to carbon/merge being the players then buy into another SNG paying more rake.

I really hate poker conspiracy theories and I have no evidence of this other than my personal experience playing. I hope the site is legit since it is one of the few places USA players can play.

Looking forward to you reaching your goal.

Not sure about the bad beats. I need a little bigger sample of hands before I can tell. I know lately Ive been on the wrong side of variance.
