Carlos


Short and sweet - Carlos Poker has a lot of perks and very few downfalls. Starting with the good stuff, Carlos Poker is a member of the iPoker Network, resulting in a lot of traffic at peak European hours. PlayTech software keeps the action fast-paced and stable, with crisp graphics and 13 languages supported. The tournament schedule and bonuses/promotions are valuable for both new and veteran members. As for the not-so-good issues – US players are not accepted, support is offered via email only (but is lightning fast), the software is available by download only (compatible with Windows only), and the payment methods are very limited, although still convenient for UK and European members.

Overall, the perks at Carlos Casino greatly outweigh any disadvantages for most online poker players. If you’re not living in the USA or operating a Mac/Linux computer, by all means, read on to learn more!


Carlos Poker Uses Playtech Software


PlayTech is the driving force behind Carlos Poker, ensuring a stable connection and fast-paced games. Graphically, Carlos Poker scores a 10 for presenting crisp, clean graphics that by far surpass most other skins on the iPoker Network. The only unfortunate aspect is that the poker client is only compatible with Windows, and a download is required to play. On the upside, the software supports 13 languages without becoming complicated to navigate.

Users will find all essential statistics displayed in the Carlos Poker Lobby; viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands player per hour. Carlos Poker’s hand history functions are decent and compatible with Poker Tracker. Note taking is available during play to keep track of your current and past opponents.

Poker Games Available at Carlos Poker
Carlos Poker has the typical game variety – Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud – though it does lack 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo. Games vary between No Limit, Fixed Limit and Pot Limit, offering heads-up, short-handed and full-table ring games. Fixed Limit blinds start at $0.02/$0.04, with No Limit and Pot Limit blinds of $0.01/$0.02 and up.

As far as ring game traffic is concerned, Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo get the most action, especially at low and mid level stakes. The softest competition can be found in short-handed tables of Pot Limit Omaha, often revealing a viewed-flop percentage that hovers around 45%-50%.
