The Poker Lab Rat

It just gets better - Carbon Poker has done it again. They’ve released a cool new feature that no other online poker site has yet to offer… and it’s a good one!

I guess that being a smaller bespoke online poker network without any of the  baggage and hype that some of the more “brand heavy” poker sites suffer means that Carbon Poker can lead, not follow, when it comes to software tweaks and enhancements.  Generally these come in 3 categories: ”Wow, cool”,  ”nice to have” and “we’d better have that too”.

In Carbon Poker’s latest software release (version 4.3) they’re the very first room to offer “Deal it Twice” in online poker!  (And that’s a “Wow, cool” by our standards - and we’re confident that other poker sites will be battling each other in the race to develop this feature ASAP)

Deal it Twice? Huh?

Deal it Twice: You get the chance in 2-player, all-in situations in certain ring games, to deal both turn and river cards twice. Here’s Phil from Carbon Poker with an example:

“Two players can go all-in after the flop - one player with a made hand, and the other with a draw. The players must both agree to deal it twice, with each deal worth half of the pot. The player with the made hand wants to take less risk of being drawn out on (assuming the opponent has a draw), and the drawing player wants more chances to hit”.

He says “This technique is becoming very popular, and you can see it employed in many live high stakes cash games”.  (So it’s great for budding late night high stakes television poker fans…)

Oh, yeah, what else is new at Carbon Poker?

They’ve added or enhanced features associated with Bounty Tournaments, their Bad Beat Jackpot, and Shootout Tournaments.
