PokerHost instead of Carbon

With redeems no longer being able to be done via Carbon through PO, i think it'd be good for PO to cancel their skin and get with pokerhost. They still allow p2p transfers between players and IMO merge has the best software there is. BCP/ACR has been plagued with issues lately and we wont even start with lock/juicy. Leaving pretty much bovada and carbon. I think PO can generate more play on PH due to the ability to do p2p transfers and seems like that'd enable them to be able to do redeems here on PO still. So, ZAB, what do ya think?

ppokerhost allow us players?

we have asked zab many times for some pokerhost games,, and so far he hasnt wanted to have them yet doc.. maybe now he can try a few tho, be good.. they do alllow p2p stilll, and they also have WU cashout,,, but there is a bigg playthru on p2p funds,, i think it maybe 100 player points per doolar,, so i f u recieved 5 dolalrs, there woild be 500 points playthru on that before it be free... i,m not positive but i,m pretty sure its like that. STILL,,, is bettter than having NO p2p at all tho, like on carbon,, and we couild trade funds there! so i agree be GOOD to have a few games there tooo, instead of the lock/ juicy for sure...... and they have very good live supooort at PHOST also..:)

yessir. same network as carbon/aced. just with p2p transfers. Merge is looking like it will be the best network for US players. No crashes multiple times a day and your money isnt 'lock'ed up with a drowning company

f no carbon rocks way more traffic hell with poker host one the weakest sites ever created not down for that in anyway site blows

if there is a play through to receive p2p funds then that isn't really p2p... Its more like trying to earn a bonus...that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Play through to receive funds that you traded for? most people buying poker funds don't have money to play through.

what are u talking bout?? its a merge site also and they have all the same tablles and tourneys that carbon has too.. i have been playing same tourneys there, thru pokerhost lately,, so not sure what u mean here.

Im pretty sure why he hasnt done it already is because they dont have a coupon system.

Yeah, i thought you can play the same games as people on carbon, just different skin? @ddavey, i think most sites with p2p have play through requirements, or no? idk i just dont want to go through the hassle of trying to deposit somewhere. I've tried a greendot on carbon and didnt work, and my bank wont allow me to deposit anywhere.

try using the western union reloadable visa. they work

Gdddd'damnit Davey....FREE YO MIND haha

haven't been on PH for years. Think I will have to download it again and start playing. Hope PO can think about putting games on there too.

I do not want this, my state is not allowed on pokerhost

If pokerhost takes US players, it seems like a good idea. Unfortunately, there aren't too many US options being left.

yea wouldnt they have the same tourneys as Carbon??

Yeah but if you have to do a play-though of 100 points per dollar, than why the heck would anyone pay there lol? I would rather not have any p2p than that. Did Carbons coupons from PO have a play-through as well though?

What do yous mean by play-through ? You need to have certain amount of ''points'' to cash out ? or to use what ever you were P2P'd ?

yes i used to play pdkerhost before it became merge too - was great then but now same thing done thru merge

I suppose maybe in the future this could be an option but surely there are applicable reasons as to why is hasn't been done yet. Perhaps a trial basis type run to see if it proves to be more beneficial. I do miss the P2P transfers to an extent and it's now harder on merge to play a sng wit friends and that aggravates me. Used to host private sngs among friends all the time but as far as I kno that's no longer possible.

i like pokerhost an yes basically the same games,my bank card works fine on all poker sites,they got p2p feature ,suggest to them to incorporate the coupon system ,would only help their growth

carbon sucks. There going downhill and have been for while. there customer service is the worst i've ever seen. I mean they dont accomadate u at all for any reason. only playing po freerolls, no deposit for me ever again there

Not so sure about moving stuff to Pokerhost. So what is it everyone has against lock and juicy?

I am used to playing on carbon, but I do like P2P a lot. I wouldn't mind trying it out.

noooooooooooooooooooo please dont!!! im to used to it to move : )

Now that CarbonRyan has resigned and the Carbon subforums have been deleted on 2+2, I'm partial to PokerHost considering they still have a Representative on that forum to answer questions.
