OVERVIEW
Carbon Poker is one of the newest poker rooms in the business, it was launched due to Poker.com was not unable to advertise in United States, so Carbon Poker is a Poker.com skin with the most innovative software program in online poker with cool features and plenty of different games. It was the initial poker room of the new Merge Gaming Network around early 2007 but there is more traffic than you can expect for a new poker room, around 10.000 players at peak times, and it is growing every month.
They are licensed by Kahnawake Gaming Commission and have also been issued with the Thawte certificate showing it as a trusted site. The players are very loose and the levels are easy to beat so it's a fish friendly poker room.
They are one of the few remaining poker rooms which accept US players.

SOFTWARE
The lobby is perfect, it's very well structured with easy graphics and interactive tab system to choose the table what you want. The tables are beautiful and it has an unique option in the market that is called "Rabbit Hunt" where the winner of the hand can choose to rabbit and see what cards would have come in turn and river if everyone folds.
Another unique great feature is "Expose one card" where you can show one of your hole cards during the hand and that leaves your opponent asking what kind of hand you have, but I think the most important feature that has shocked the online poker world has been the "Deal it Twice" where two (only two) players go all-in in the flop and deal the turn and the river two times, that's specially perfect to avoid the variance that is implied with those all-ins, "Deal it Twice" is optional and both players must be agree to do it.
If you are the kind of player who likes to play in many tables at the same time, you will not have any problem at Carbon Poker. You can resize the tables, use mini view and 2x2 as options to customize the game to fit your needs. The software is very heavy if you have all graphics options enabled so you need a powerful computer to runs the tables smoothly, also you can disable all the animations if your computer runs slow. You have the typical options of player notes, tag players and custom chat icons.
The competition is very soft and the majority of all players are rookies and small-stacked players. A nice place to start to play.
