Is carbon the best?

I have played on most of the poker clients that allow u.s. players, I really like bovada, and I will play on acr or bcp with money I get from this site but I don't like it enough to deposit.
Besides Bovada, I have heard that carbon is one of the best sites out there, but they won't let me in bc I live in KY. I have a buddy who will let me use his debit card and address to make an account and deposit, but I have to give him 20% of my winnings if I cashout. I totally trust him so that is no big deal. I am just wondering if anybody knows if there is any way I could get caught doing this or is it even worth it?
As much feedback as possible would be greatly appreciated.

Carbon has been running for over a decade. I remember first starting on this site when I first started playing. It has always been a place to play with friendly players and cool graphics. It is a intimate room and provide a good place to play for US players after Black Friday.

Depends on where you like to play really. They all have things about them I like and things I dont like.

Carbon is a pretty good site though! I have cashed out there a few times with tollerable wait times!

Depends on the person. I use to grind the sunday tourneys on Carbon, including the bigger buyins, and i will say the competition has gotten ridiculous. Ive been told Bovada is a bit softer, and there is no way to track a player. I think the fact you can not be tracked is a huge advantage to the every day grinder.

I only play there because of PO, but have grown to like it. Still haven't cashed out, or know if they will let me

Carbon is a fine site, but people aren't addressing your more important question

Yes there is SEVERAL ways to get caught, and they usually check during cashout time so you won't even know if safe until you go to cashout. My recommendation is stick to whats legal (as legal as possible anyways) to avoid getting burned later

Carbon is one of the best I've seen for USA players however its a bit of a shady site so beware....seems like its legit at times....other times not so much...I played a few tourneys on their tonite and the theme was get it in bad and win lmao.....It has some soft games but their not much recommended unless u have experience...but the micro PLO cash tables are very soft....the variance is high in micro hyper SNGs however I've found them to be soft aswell

I'm going to have to say no. But, If you asked me that about any US site I'd probably answer the same. I'd be interesting in hearing from someone who has played on the two no sites in NV and NJ.

you can use his address all you want but you can not play. your ip address will give it away.
