Carbon Poker Software and Graphics

Carbon Poker is widely regarded to be situated on the network that offers players the best poker software, the Merge network. The software is slick, fast and offers a number of features most rooms don't have. The one major drawback to the software is the occasional connection issue some players experience, but this is insignificant to most.

The lobby is easy to navigate around, and it has been made even easier with the new filter option. Players can now choose the options for the games they wish to be displayed in the lobby, such as a 6 max, no limit tables, excluding the empty ones. This makes it much quicker to find the game best for you.

Once into a game the software really shines. The graphics are second to none and the amount of features is incredible. The players favourite is without doubt the chat room smileys. There are a range to choose from, with most used to annoy your opponents and send them on full tilt.

Another good feature is the rabbit option. This is used to display the remaining hole cards is the hand finishes before the river. Only the person who won the hand can decide whether or not to show the remaining cards to the table. Other features include "Deal it Twice" and instant hand histories.
