After a few month hiatus, leading online poker room Carbon Poker is now available to players from around the globe.  The announcement has generated significant interest from the online poker community, and most expect Carbon’s traffic to surge as a result of the new policy.

Carbon is the flagship room of the Merge Poker Network.  If you already have an account on the Merge network, you may not be able to create an account at Carbon Poker.  Instead, give these online poker reviews a read to see if you can find an alternate room that suits your preferences.

If you’re not familiar with the Carbon Poker software, it provides a number of unique features and advantages over other poker software clients.  One notable feature: Rabbit hunting, where you can choose to run out the rest of the cards after folding.  You can also choose to “deal it twice” once all players in the hand are all in –  a common feature of High Stakes Poker –  and have two sets of cards dealt for the remaining streets, once set for each half of the pot.

Carbon also boasts one of the best resizable tables functions in all of online poker.  All graphics are rendered in vectors, meaning that every aspect of the table remains as sharp at the minimum size as it does at the maximum size.  Carbon also offers a “mini-table” feature that allows you to view the most important aspects of the table –  pot size, actions and stack sizes –  at normal size while shrinking all other elements to the bare minimums, making playing multiple tables a breeze even on small monitors.

There are some negatives: Carbon Poker is not on the “online poker that accepts PayPal” list and, in fact, has limited deposit and withdrawal options for some countries.  The room also no longer offers flat rakeback, instead providing tiered rakeback via the Carbon Poker VIP program.  Those drawbacks aside, poker players from around the world are still no doubt quite happy to learn that Carbon Poker is once again accepting their business.
