Exciting Features at Carbon Poker
When you're smaller you have to try a little harder. Carbon Poker in the young, up-and-coming Merge Poker Network tries hard to offer its players a really good online poker experience.
Here's a list of exciting game features that should make you feel at home at Carbon.
Rabbit hunting
Sometimes you desperately want to see the card that would have come on the table if you hadn't folded. In home games it's standard routine, in many professional cash games as well. We've seen it on High Stakes Poker.
Now rabbit hunting is also available at Carbon Poker. If a player wins a pot before all cards are on the table, that player decides if the dealer should disclose the cards that would have hit the board, had the hand been played out.
An added thrill to be sure.
Show one card
Of course, in poker the general rule is to never show your cards. It's a game of information, and opponents should have to pay to receive any extra knowledge about your game.
Nevertheless, at occasions showing one single card can be a very effective way to put bees in your opponent's bonnet. You have seen the pros do it at times, sometimes even against a small fee, often with a remarkable effect on the opponent's state of mind.
Now Carbon Poker let's you show one of your cards at the virtual poker table (or both, of course). Use it with judgment, and it might be your new tool for winning in poker.
Player tags
In addition to player notes, it can be very handy to mark players with icons as well, or tags. Like this, you can see in a glance what kind of opposition is seated at the table, and adjust your game plan accordingly.
Using the seven different tags, you should be able to create a pretty accurate "language" for your player analysis. Of course, nothing prevents you from using the icons in the way suggested by the site, either.
Add to this other little extras such as graphic trophies being awarded for tournament accomplishments and regular play, crisp vector graphics for pretty, resizable tables, and expressive smilies to be used in the chat box, and you'll see that online poker is nicer than ever.
