You cannot do this. You can only play cash games on Merge mobile.

If merge shortens it's late registration to say 2 hours more players will play the nightly events as the play time will be cut dramatically. As is 4 hours is a just a huge time investment and to long. Everyone is different but with a full time job there is no way I'm playing 8 hour nightlys when I can play for bigger prize pools and finish in 5-7 hours. Ex. 9pm start finishes at 2am as opposed 5am. If things at merge stay the same expect merge to fall off even harder. Also increasing the starting stacks back to 10k for the Sunday flag ship tournies would be a step in the right direction. I personally would rather drop my 215 somewhere where I get 10k.

The only tournament that ever had 10K is the 100K and it still is 10K. The only 2 that have more than 5K are the nightly $215 HR and the Sunday $530 which has 15K stacks.

Just tried it and it does work. Reg on desktop, then play on m.carbonpoker.com.

But you can't see the lobby, how many players left, etc...

gotta say, the 2 hour 45 minute LR that they are doing with the $5.50 2k, is much more enjoyable

Ah yes, I vaguely remember that. Seems like 15 years ago in Merge time.

Anyone ever Register For the $109 on accident. I just did. Meant to reg for the $1 nightly owl 6-max and oops $109 6-max(right next to each other,made a mistake,. It would have been as big as deal If I did it early and oh well. But blinds were at 200/400, up in less in min with 3000 to start. I managed to get decent stack going into final tabe top 3 get paid and my internet gos out-have 6000 chip i think blinds at 600, back in 15 min and im out. I know it was my fault becuase I get bad internet once in while and made a honest mistake. Not really pleaing my case just venting a bit. Not mad about the money, just a shame it happened. Been playing for while, 1st time thats happend and hopefully last. have played a ton over years with a low buy-in average am moving up and if you check any of my names youll see im very strict about the limits I play and take no shots at all. GG Carbon for getting closer to overlay. tough luck, I guess. Might have to leave site for a while to relieve this memory. So sick. End of story.

7 Card Stud. For some reason they got rid of regular 7 Card Stud and only kept 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. It never made any sense because 7 Card Stud Hi is considered the nonvariant form of the game so a lot more people know how to play that than they do Hi/Lo. Stake levels similar to LHE would probably be about right. I'm referring to cash games; I'm not sure if you are just referring to tournaments though.

Assuming we are talking about mtts... I hope they keep the evening HORSE and plo8 mtts they have. They never overlay from what I see. Change the $5r and $11r PLO8 mtts to non-turbo OR deepstack turbos. I personally would like even more $5-$33 plo8 mtts. Maybe a $22 plo8 5kstarting stack/10min levels every night. When there was $60-$109 PLO8 I always tried to satellite into them. I miss those.

Oh, speaking of $22 buy in, last I looked there were only two $22 mtts (Sunday HU and sat into Sunday $530). So there are more $2 sats for $22 than there are actual $22 mtts.

It would be awesome to see LHE, Razz, Stud, NLO8, FLO8, limit TD 2-7, and NL 2-7 tournaments, IMO.

That reminds me, they should bring back the big Sunday $33 that use to have 10k starting stack with 20 minute blinds, that was by far my favorite game to play (if you could stay up til 3am when it would finish)

I quit playing at Carbon in early January due to my hatred of the 3hr 45min late reg. It sucked the fun out of the game. I saw that they switched to a 2hr 45min in the 6pm $5.50, so I've been playing in that over the last week. That's the old Carbon that I used to love to play at. The game actually has some integrity.

More please.

$50 2-7 runs almost every night. last few days there has been a drop off tho, haven't seen two of the regs in the past few days (one regularly busts his account so he'll surely be back, and the other one usually plays everyday).

if u want to try Ace-5 ill give u a game

bring the Pot Limit Badugi MTTs back. if they changed the nightly that used to run at 11:15 to $5 that's be great, but bringing back any PL Badugi would be awesome.

$22 PLO $2K @ 9:00 PM EST

Would finish at a decent time for the east coast players and give the 9-5 west coast crowd time to get home. The OPS PLO MTTs did really well.

+1 would be a fun idea (maybe make the guarantee bigger if its attracting enough of a field)

ALSO one thing I've mentioned a few times, add like a 10-25$ buyin HYPERTURBO MTT, somewhere towards the end of the schedule (10-12pm EST-ish) with a 1k or higher guarantee. Could provide a nice quick (and FUN!) daysaver for the regs, and also give some of the weaker players a good chance at hitting a nice score (lolvariance).

Almost every other site seems to run these things and they are very popular all-around. I'm sure that it would be successful if it has a nice enough guarantee and is placed at the right spot in the schedule.

I was happy when they finally implemented the structure for MTTs but have since been very disappointed that they haven't expanded on it!
