I just joined the other day. The site is nice. I like it.

It only started a month ago right? You have to wait a year to get more players I would say.

The payouts are small but not at like the higher levels at the one table. I came in 27th last night out of 189 players in a tourny. I haven't played in a year though. I got .35 cents.

I can't really stay that long though for a tourny. I rather do 1 tables. I'm going all the way up. I want $14,000

1st Place: $14,878.71
2nd Place: $7,439.36
3rd Place: $5,579.52
4th Place: $3,719.68
5th Place: $1,859.84
6th Place: $1,487.87
7th Place: $1,115.90
8th Place: $743.94
9th Place: $371.97

I've been trying to cash out by playing a step 6, but it hasn't filled up in over 8 days.

Payouts:

1st Place: $0.13
2nd Place: $0.06
3rd Place: $0.05
4th Place: $0.03
5th Place: $0.02
6th Place: $0.01
7th Place: $0.01
8th Place: $0.01
9th Place: $0

I think I'll play it pretty tight at first....I'd hate to finish 9th and not win anything for my 6 hours of time invested up until now.

i just won step 1 with strt vs boat ROFL
34 vs jj flops 256 j 5 i won straight
im that awesome

Any 9 man step 5 players out there ???....We have 7 right now....come play !!

1 more !!

Sorry, I was already asleep for the night. Did you get it filled?

Its the same principal as subscription poker which is not an attractive option. There are tons of subscription poker sites that offer tournament style poker and pay regularly. Well not tons but many subsciption poker sites have tried to make it only to bust and not pay players. Carafino has had 50 dollar freerolls from what I have been seeing not even worth it with the software and setup they have.

Shills gonna shill though why else open a thread when there is already a topic open on this in nvg.

LOL @ the way some people like to throw the term "shill" around.

Yes, I'm sure a 9 year member and former mod has started this thread in the correct forum because she's a shill. Probably got paid big bucks by the freeroll site to do so.

Carafino is a joke . There are much better options in subscription poker sites then this joke of a site. I signed up for it through nvg it certainly dosen't merrit its own thread based on what it offeres which is nothing but clogging up computer space. I don't know why nvg isn't enough for this site. If this site is a viable option for american players then LOL.

Oh so people can leave their referal names ? I didn't realize . I am sorry bobo I get confused when people open up threads that already have threads and leave referal names that I associate them as being shills.

Yes you're right! Please enter, "i iz a shill 4 caffeno pokah" in the referral box. I wont millions.

At least use spell check when you troll me! I'm offended

My "referal" name is: I Shill 4 Trolls (go-ignore)

Why should you open up another thread? Gald I was able to offend ya for opening up this ridiculous thread that already exists. How many posts do you have about it?

I guess your special that you can promote such a junk site and leave your referal name without getting infracted. Carafino is by far the worst site I have played on and I have played on them all. Good luck with your promotions.

:

How do you know she wasn't infracted? And if she did put a referral name and wasn't infracted, perhaps it has something to do with a pretty flawless 9 year record?

Believe it or not, not everyone is treated the same way. A brand new poster might be banned for something you would get a warning for. Is that so shocking?

Why have this thread when one already exists about carafino? The site is godawful why does it merritt another thread when the same info op is posting can be found in nvg? It really dosen't merrit its own thread either way. I know i was disappointed when I checked it out when I first saw it in nvg.

Carafino is god awful , one thread on NVG is certainly enough. Carafino dosen't offer anything that should merritt another thread when all info is abundant in nvg. Why isn't this thread deleted when one already exists with all and more then enough pertinant info is my next question.

Its great op started thread in correct forum but usually threads about the same subject are moved to one forum. I would rather see new topics about where americans can play rather then seeing the same blight over and over again spread across different forums.

Someone started a thread in NVG because it was news, I guess. This is the appropriate place for general online poker sites. Maybe you haven't noticed the hundreds of threads here about different sites? Have a look, they're all over this forum...pretty sure you've posted in a few of them. Sorry you have so much hatred for the site that you've had to tell everyone at least 3 times now in the last 45 minutes how terrible it is, like your judgement of the site is some kind of arbiter of whether it is worthy of an IP thread.

Have you considered just skipping by the massive amount of threads (2!!!!) rather than jumping in to tell everyone how terrible it is and there shouldn't be so many threads and that everyone is a shill?

Cliffs: Move along.

Nine year poster and can't find this buried thread? There are a few indicators I noticed before I have the audacity to say someone is a shill. Aren't you the one that posted enough with the referal names btw Bobo? I am moving along now.

I came in 11th last night in the multi tourny out of 152 players. The multi's take too long for me though. I'm more of a single table player. I got .50 cents anyway.

We never did fill it. Got up to 8 players two different times but couldn't get the last one needed. Maybe it will go sometime this weekend.

playing hu all night, lets get tickets....

Still need players at HU - have steps 2,3,4,5,6,7 (quite a lot at any of these)... granted I'd rather play against the "fold fest" players that are usually in the HU and not a "thinking 2p2r" but need opponants!

And LOL at Zecko! Just lol. Obv Felecia put up a thread in this (the correct) forum after one ran in nvg for several months. LOL at anyone being a "shill" for this freeroll site. It's just a frigging place for us (in usa) to play some poker (sometimes anyway - when we can actually find people to play against).

The software is horrible - the lobby is practically non-existant - the game selection is NONE (sit down and HOPE someone else does) - the speed is like slow molases pouring - it's just overall bad!! (As far as the software)... but sure would like it if someone came and joined me!!?? lol

But it's free and it's poker and we are playing there. So if you don't have anything at all to add to the thread Zecko - just leave. Why waste your time even posting in the thread at all??

watev - guess some people have such non-interesting lives that they look for threads in online forums that they have know interest in just to get their kicks - great life!

Bump to try to get more players!! I am NOT affiliated with this company - it's FREE - and in order to actually make it to any kind of money - it needs players to go through the steps! I have heads up step tickets from 2,3,4,5,6,7 but it's rare to find anyone to play with at step 5,6 or 7!! I've NEVER found anyone to play at 7!

It is so very easy to get through these steps guys... anyone who even thinks a little (like anyone on 2p2) will have no problem getting these step tickets!

Bump it up!

Such a shame that I logged on to see if there would be any traffic (especially on a Sunday afternoon???)

Sadly -
-checked heads up step 7 (no one there - didn't think there would be)
-heads up step 6 - same (again prety much thought there wouldn't be)
-step 5 - nobody
-step 4 - now here I thought there would be some players - NOPE
-step 3 - surely there would be some players here??? --- Sigh... NO
-step 2 - nobody (are you kidding me -- oh wait a player finally came after 5 minutes?? - beat him in one hand - now all alone again
-step 1 - OMFG are you kidding - had to wait over 5 minutes for a step ONE player? - beat him - now logging off...

Sadly it's a realization that it will be almost impossible to move up to the steps where the real money is (over step 25 for heads up).

Guess this site is NOT going to fly!

Decided to see if any players were at the single table sngs - didn't even think to check any of my higher steps (these NEVER fill)... looked at a step ONE table - surely there would be some players here?

OBOY! 7 players - I make 8... then what? It's been over 15 minutes and not even one more player to fill this??

Confirmed - this site is dead before it really began.

Again - oh well - decent idea - no players though.

GG (well not really)

9 man's have been slow too...They're trying to give money away and nobody will show up to take it.

My thoughts exactly. I tried organizing players so we can at least TRY to get to the money, but I ran into so many nay-sayers and people knocking the thread off track so I left it alone.

Hit up the nightly mtt's. In order to ramp up traffic Cafrino has to light some fire under their marketing dept.'s ass. That's the only way I see the SnG's filling up. The attitude towards Cafrino in this forum is a but chilly, IMO.

Maybe we should look into being affiliates and pumping up traffic.

ya its hard to get passed 7. got to 10 once though, just left the site on all day

Has anyone cashed out from here? If so, how long did it take? I requested a cash out last Friday and it's still pending approval.

I have cashed out several times. Money shows up in PayPal account in two or three biz days.

Hint: Don't enter a dollar sign $ in the withdrawal window.

Hmm don't recall if I did that or not. Shows the withdrawal pending approval in the transaction section. I didn't see an option to cancel it, either. We shall see I guess.

Thank you

because I was all excited when I first saw this thread in nvg but horrified that this is considered a great option for USA players and that this is what poker has been reduced to for players in the USA . By all means though keep recruiting and knock yourself out. I am really jealous that you have such a great life and have this awesome site to play on. I really feel bad for anoyne that checks out this site it is by far the worst I have ever visited including subscription sites which have a far better value then this . The hype far exceeds expectation unless you are used to an inferor product then you will be in your element at Carafino poker.

Just my 2 cents off course since you asked. I don't remember but the time it took to download and register is so much better spent doing anything else .
