Bankroll Builder: Carbon Poker

RELATED ARTICLES

We’ve featured Carbon Poker (Merge Network) in a few past bankroll Builders, but there’s so much value going on there right now that we figured we’d just roll it up into one article. Carbon is making a pretty big promotional push right now, and players are definitely benefiting from the increased attention. Some of the most notable values:



The Carbon Poker 50k guarantee.

It’s a new tournament on the Carbon (Merge Network) schedule that runs Sundays at 4pm EST with a $109 buy in. This tournament offers, hands down, the best overlay value online. Over the last month, the tournament has missed the guarantee by an average of 22k – that’s nearly half the prize pool added. On top of that, the tournament fields at Carbon are much weaker than average. So, a massive overlay + a weak field = a tournament you simply can’t afford to pass up.

Rakeback + VIP
Carbon already has a great rakeback offer (30% paid daily, click for details), but with the introduction of their new VIP program, Carbon has sweetened the deal, as rakeback players can qualify for all VIP bonuses, including straight cash back. The combination of rakeback + VIP makes Carbon the highest paying cash back deal on a US-friendly site that we’re aware of.

Bad Beat Jackpot
It’s not easy to hit, but it’s a massive payout – the bad beat jackpot at Carbon is approaching 700k. It’s not easy to hit (requirements and details below), but the room is small enough that you can easily cover all of the BB tables, and the jackpot attracts some fishy players, boosting your earn rate. Details:

# The losing hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 7’s
# The winning hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 8’s
# Both the winning and losing hands must include both hole cards, and in the case of a Four of a Kind must include a pocket pair.
# At least four players must be dealt in at the start of the hand
# The hand must have generated jackpot rake (ie. $0.50)
# Two or more players must be active at the end of the hand, and it must go to showdown

The jackpot is distributed as follows: 30% to the loser of the hand, 17.5% to the winner, 17.5% to the other players at the table, 20% to reseeding the jackpot and 10% to the room.
