Excellent graphics and details mixed with fun emoticons which personalize every game. They have included an option to lower the graphic resolution if the site runs a little slow but this shouldn't be an issue for the majority of users. Playability - very good Very easy to use at the table with buttons clearly marked and unobtrusive sounds. The lobby is generally intuitive and simple to get around. Traffic - very good One of the faster growing sites on the net. Plenty of choice in tournaments and cash games with players competing across the majority of the Merge Network sites. Support - good Response time is usually pretty good, and the quality has certainly improved these days. Cash out speed can be a little slow but without any major problems. Summary - very good Carbon Poker is essentially the same site as the now defunct Poker.com (now PDC Poker). Although you need to open a new account to play at Carbon, the majority of games and tournaments are playable through either client. With it's loyal base of players and excellent software, this looks to be a poker room with a big future. Recommended !
