Increased Traffic, Guarantees Rise on Carbon Poker
Earlier this month the Merge Gaming Network desegregated their tables leading to an almost immediate increase in traffic across the board. As a result players all over the network will have access to more cash game tables, larger promotions, and new tournaments with improved guarantees.
The segregation of players began on Merge as early as 2011, reducing the overall player traffic on some of the networks larger skins by a significant margin. However, with this months developments all players are once again united in a single player pool. Those on sites like Carbon Poker will benefit by having access to more games and fishier tables leading to an enhanced overall experience.
Bad Beat Jackpot Returns
Carbon Poker has announced the return of their popular Bad Beat Jackpot promotion that is now completely funded by the poker room. To qualify players must simply lose a pot while holding four of a kind or better and they'll collect a whopping 38% of the jackpot total. 20.5% will be awarded to the winner of the hand, while an additional 20.5% is split amongst the rest of the table. The remaining 21% will be used to start the next jackpot.
