Is anyone else getting really tired of this new schedule on Carbon?
I have been what some would consider a reg for sometime now, mostly buy-ins $11 and below and was excited for a new schedule at the beginning of the month. Almost a month has gone by and I have given the new schedule a shot but have to say that it sucks pretty bad. I used to play 5-6 days a week on Carbon and this last week I played 2 sessions both of which I ended early because I had no desire for this boring schedule. I used to love the deepstacks with 20 minute levels, the 3r, 4r, and 5r, also the 3k starting stack 15 min level tourneys. No more of those except 5r which has a $250 GTD LOL and never fires. Ever since every freezeout became re-entry I have kinda been hating this schedule. Not to mention the long let reg times. Yes long late reg and re-entries can build a prize pool but I don't think it is necessary if the tournament is good enough. They used to have great tourneys with no re-entry and only 1 hour late reg. Now late reg goes till the bubble WTF. Every tournament doesn't have to be a re-entry, tournaments used to be about being able to put people in tough spots for their tournament life, but now it's just like whatever I can re-enter for 4 hours lets flip coins for no reason!
Carbon is steering away every type of player, reg and recreational right now. Do they realize that most recreational players have a regular job and play poker for fun? No recreational player wants to come home from a long day of work and play tournaments that go for 9 hours. The nightly tournaments do not excite me at all because I do have a normal job, but what else is there to play? The schedule looks pretty full but it's not, a lot of the tournaments don't even run. So basically you get to play the nightly's and some $50 and $100 GTD's $1 rebuys. And the smaller freezeouts with 2 hours 10 minute late reg LOL joke. I finished up my morning session Sunday and was thinking to myself why I am still playing this schedule when there isn't a single tournament that I look forward to playing? I used to look forward to the 3r,5r,11 6 max deep turbo with 10K starting stack, 1r Dollar Dazzler, but now I can't think of a daily tournament that I look forward to playing. After this thought I then snap withdrew my whole bankroll from Carbon!!
Someone PM when the schedule gets better, until then I will be splashing around in the Bovada cash games!
