Ring Game Traffic (6)
Carbon Poker actually offers decent ring-game traffic for a new site with a relatively small player base. The most popular game is Texas Hold'em and most players are found at the micro- and small-stakes tables. Carbon Poker has peak cash-game traffic of 500 real-money players at peak hours (November 2008).
Soft Competition (9)
Carbon Poker offers some pretty profitable games for skilled poker players. Many of the players at Carbon Poker are relatively new to poker, and the games are fast and loose. The low- and micro-stakes No-Limit Texas Hold'em tables tend to offer the loosest games.
Rake (6)
The rake policy at Carbon Poker is on par with the industry, raking up to 5% of the pot but never over $3. Generally the rake dropped comes to 1¢ of every 20¢ in a pot. A "no flop, no drop" policy is in effect, meaning no rake is dropped from a pot that does not reach the flop.
Support (9)
Carbon Poker offers good support options with both e-mail and live-chat available. The support quality is good and questions are answered in a timely manner.
