Carlos Poker.com Review
is a part of the iPoker network. It is important to note that due to the October 2006 legislation in the United States they currently do NOT accept US customers to play in any real money games.
Being a part of the iPoker network, (which has popular skins like Titan and Noble Poker) you can expect to find a game that is right for you on Carlos Poker. At most times there are 4000 or more players connected and there can be over 8000 during peak hours. Carlos Poker offers a variety of games to chose from; limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Hold’em, limit and pot-limit Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 5 Card Stud. During the afternoon in EST, there were only 3 tables running any games other than no-limit Hold’em. Most of these players were playing $1 - $2 and below, but there are generally a few high stakes games always running.
I was surprised to see how little traffic there was for Carlos Poker’s Sit & Gos. While there were nearly 4000 people connected, there were only 75 tournaments running. Surprisingly, with such a small amount of tournaments running they were actually fairly spread out limit wise. I noticed more than average of high stakes ($55 and higher) running compared to other sites. Also, I’ve never seen limits so low on any other poker sites with buyins as low as $.12. I really can’t see how people would actually grind these out, but even if you only have $5 to your name you can find a game for your bankroll! One unique promotion I noticed that other sites don’t offer was Jackpot Sit & Go’s. If you win 4 or 6 in a row (depending on the type) you win the jackpot (which varies from $2000 up to $130000 depending on the limit). These seem like they could be great, and it has been won before in the past, however the rake for buying into these tournaments is nearly TWICE the normal amount ($50 +$9 compared to $50 +$5, for example). This is not the best option to grind, unless you plan on winning six in a row of course!
Multi-Table Tournaments get more traffic than their Sit & Go’s at Carlos Poker. Everyday they have various guaranteed prize pools ranging from $1000 ($2 rebuy) up to $20000 ($10 rebuy). Also, there are weekly and monthly freezeouts as high as $250000 guaranteed, which is a $430 buyin. Their daily tournaments have a lot of action and the guarantees are usually broken every time. Currently, Carlos Poker is running many satellites to the WSOP main event and you can qualify for as little as $6.
Carlos Poker has a Frequent Player Point’s (FPP) system in place which you can use for special freerolls. One of the current promotions for their FPP system is their huge $500,000 freeroll, which will take place in July of 2007. In order to register you must earn your seat through FPP satellites. You could earn a huge payday from just using their FPPs!
If you are outside the US, offers only a few methods for depositing; Visa/Mastercard, Neteller, or Bank Wire.

Carlos Poker.com Software Interface/Usability
has nicely organized tabbed lobby for finding your game and limit. You will notice that there is a quick search option which can take you quickly to any cash or tournament. I think this is fairly useful for Sit & Go tournaments as there isn’t much emphasis on table selection, however for ring games it’s better to just look through the lobby (which doesn’t take long). You can hide or show games, limits, and tournaments by pressing their + or – tab on the left side of the lobby.
You can sit at a variety of tables, 10 max, 8 max, 6max, or heads up are available for almost all limits (with the exception of heads up which the lowest limit is $.25 - $.50). Almost every limit was full of shorthanded play, and only a couple full ring tables were open.
The tables at Carlos Poker are the standard sized tables you will find at most poker rooms. One thing I noticed right away was their built in avatars, which most players I have talked to find very distracting. These can be turned off through the options button while at the table. Some other nice features I found were warning displays, and mini-mode. Warning displays are one way to help prevent the dreaded mis-clicks from happening. If you make what the software appears to be a rather large bet, it will prompt you making sure you really want to bet this much. I know I have made many of these mistakes in the past, so anything to help prevent this is good. Also, although the tables are not resizable by dragging, you can select mini-mode for multi-tabling. Although this can be nice for people who do not have large monitors, I found it very hard to follow the action with such a small table. I would like to see custom resized tables added.
In the options menu you can also select to locally store your hand histories on your computer. There is also an instant hand history viewer available right at the table; however the layout is very confusing. Instead of using the standard text hand histories for easy viewing, they have an image display which shows action on every street. I found this is be very confusing and did not use the instant HH feature because of it.

CarlosPoker Poker Room Action
As stated earlier, has a decent amount of action for no-limit Hold’em ring games. Most people play mid and low stakes. Also, if you are a side game fan, I wouldn’t look too seriously at Carlos Poker for the lack of traffic to anything besides Hold’em. There is smaller amount of action compared to the major sites, mainly because of the ban of US players, but there is still enough to grind out their large bonuses.

Carlos Poker.com Customer and Technical Support
The support at was below average. I dealt with them by sending them a couple e-mails with questions and both times it took over 12 hours to hear anything. Also, their e-mails seemed like copy/paste responses and even didn’t answer a couple questions I had. I feel their support could use some work. If you need to contact them, their e-mail information is below:

Carlos Poker's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
The fish rating on Carlos Poker seemed to be average compared to other sites. It would be easy for anyone with some poker knowledge to come and crush the tables; however I did not notice an abnormal amount of fish. One thing that was noted was at the mid stakes level, most of the bad players were buying in for less than the standard 100 bbs making them easier to spot. A lot of the tables had many, half buyin fish sitting at them.
