Default Carbon Poker = Soft Backgammong Players

Often times something this good I would just keep to myself, but seeing as I don't get all that much time to play backgammon I'll go a head and post it because it might help others out.

Carbon Poker = Worst Backgammon players EVER

There is enough traffic to to sit and wait and get mid stakes games going. Event $25 per $100 max games - although those games take a bit longer to go.

Something like $5/$40 or $4 w/e (don't make it too high @ $4 because want players to be able to sit, something like $4/$28 or something works).

Also don't just wait for games to start. Create them.

Actually - I assume all Merge Network rooms share same backgammon tables? if so go through us for 30% Iron Duke Rakeback

Anyways these games are nuts. I'm a natural at games like backgammon and picked it up fast, but honestly I'm sure I could learn a lot. I've never studied the game or anything.
I just barely beat the rake at the big gammong sites and also knew I was often being cheated. The Gammon on the Merge Network I've absolutely crushed. Unfortunately its for not enough money that I can think about doing it as a living - but its just enough that the money is enough to keep me addicted to the game.

Anyways there are a couple of regulars there who are total fish - no one is all that great. I won't post that info but if any of you guys play Backgammon shoot me a PM and I'll fill you in on who the total fish are and who the average to decent players are - I don't play all hours so perhaps you can exchange same info with me after you start playing.

I think there are robots that can play better than any human, so I would never play for significant money.

This is a bit off topic here, but isn't Carbon regulated or licenced by Kahnwhake?

I can't find this fucking thread on 2+2, but apparently the Kahnawakes are pretty fucking shady. A 2+2er (mod I think) was threatened with a lawsuit for saying a bunch of shit about the Kahnawakes and had to re ... here is it here it is.

Anyway, apparently the Kahnawakes are pretty shady, and they license or regulate Carbon Poker, just as they did at AP and UB.

We all know about the superuser fiascos at AP and UB, and the Kahnawake gaming commision obviously was not able to keep that shit from happening, so how can we trust that kind of thing to not happen at Carbon Poker?

What if superuser shit broke out at Carbon?

%'s of that happening?

Hey,

The Kahnwhake is quite sketchy with everything going on. However, you should know that they license over 60% of all online gambling sites.

I highly doubt that there are any other sites that have super user accounts. It's just to easy to get caught, like with UB and AP.

yeah, it's kind of safe to say "look at all they're catching, we better not do it", but you never know, some new shit could pop up anywhere. Probably not too likely but ....

Reason its important to scout - and try sticking to smaller rooms where you'll see the same regulars you know you can beat.
The big sites are loaded with bots.

Bodog, Full Tilt are also licensed by Kahnawake. The issue is that this is one of the only options US friendly sites have. Full Tilt could probably afford to move, but the others simply aren't big enough to do so.
A reliable solution to be able to broadcast at fast enough speed were talking 8 figure set up cost - WAY to much money for start up sites, and smaller sites so right now the only viable option for liscensing to the North American side of the business is to have the servers on the Mohawk Reservation - no one can mess with their internet because they claimed imminent domain or some shit lol
