I was recently 9 tabling $50NL on Carbon Full Ring. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but it seems like someone with your username or similar was playing, too. To me, the toughness of games equates to about what $200NL FR was on Stars before Black Friday. I get about 15% rakeback through the VIP program.
The upside is that:
- There are enough games to play
- Carbon's software is VERY good - easily the best American serving room
- You can take notes on players - real poker no anonymity
- You can use a HUD - imo real ONLINE poker
- There are fish and recreational players
The downside is that:
- Rake is high, rakeback is low
- Games are tougher - LOT of the same regs and many of the fish today seem better than the fish of yesterday
- Although there are games to play, there are NOT a TON of games to play and you'll want to adjust your schedule around peak hours or pick up more games like 6max, PLO, and the like or just settle for less games
- Games max out at lower stakes - for NLHE, I don't see a lot of action at $100NL and higher and I suspect when it runs, it's probably not the juiciest games
