Table limits, re-entry tournaments with crapshoot poker for 2 hours, low guarantees, there are absolutely no incentives to play on Carbon anymore.

Where else can you see a panda bear bust a sick move by simply typing "dance"?

even though for US players they have the best software, the best/biggest MTTs for players who don't want anonymous tables, a consistent 10 year track record of paying out, a massive pool of bad players was added yesterday, and the guarantees are being crushed by a factor of +2 (and will most likely be raised across the board soon), i still refuse to play at Carbon until i get my colored player boxes back.

poker players need to remember what's important. and the most important consideration when choosing where to play is colored player boxes.

This is what I meant about costing them money. Not cash game limitations.

Contact support. They *should* be able to send you the HH.

Welp, that was a no go. Support said they don't have access to "internal files".

FYI,

Tried to log in this afternoon and after signing in Carbon ran an update. I got to the lobby but after a few seconds Carbon shut down. Tried twice and then I deleted and re installed the client but same thing happening. I am on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. The only anti virus I have running is Sophos (which has never had a problem before) plus I have a script blocker but that only runs in Firefox so I do not think that is causing a problem.

If I figure out the problem I will report back. Anyone else ( on a Mac) having this problem since the update today?

I tried to deposit more money on carbon with the same prepaid visa I used a week ago works fine in every other site like BCP and Bovada but now they won't accept it. Contacted support they said they can't guarantee any visa prepaid to work. Previously a few months ago I tried my visa prepaid that I've used for years, worked on carbon and all other sites but last month they wouldn't accept it. I spoke to support they said try a different one. Got a different one in the mail loaded it and deposited it fine, no problem. I used it again no problem. Now I have to try a different card?

CC processors cycle in and out with rapidity at times in the US market. What works one day, may not work the next.

Cash transfers work almost 100%...

Anyone know what happened to the satellites to the micros? there used to be like .20¢ ones for the 1.10's, .40 for the 220's, but all I'm getting are 1.10's for the $11

also, I won a pretty decent sized one, can I split it up and use it for a bunch of 5.50's?

MBP here, update ran smooth and things have been fine all day

oh, and try your card again tomorrow. the only reason I ended up on Bovada at first was because none of my cards would work on Carbon so I gave up, but when I got frustrated with Bovada I just tried again on Carbon and it worked fine.
this was months later but have heard people talk about playing play money tables for a day while they wait until they can deposit.
thankfully I haven't had to deposit again, hopefully never will, still working on my deposit bonus lol, it's the worst bonus ever.

Carbon support just got back to me ( 2-3 hour reply, WTG support!) and suggested I uninstall Java and Flash and re install them. It did not work, but I think I am on the right track. Since no one else seems to be having this problem I won't go into all the steps.

Thanks,
Dea

almost 100% sure the answer is no.

if u have a coupon and the money would mean a lot for your bankroll use it in a HU SnG. that gives you the best chance to turn it into cash.

The T&C say all Holdem games excluding HU are eligible.

Finally a player-friendly move by merge to desegregate. Now if they could only replace the HORSE w 8 game and bring back limit draw instead of PL, but I think that's just asking too much.

I'm just happy the limit games are running again and they are having another OPS with a wide variety of games.

The promotion itself specifically says that it is all No Limit non Heads up games. But the BBJ ticker is on both the No Limit tables and also the Limit tables. So I'm not too sure exactly which tables are BBJ either.

And bring back 7 Card Stud High.

If you see the BBJ indicator in the upper left of table window it is a BBJ table. If you don't, it is not.
