Anybody else get this:
I don't deposit there, (or well... anywhere), but I thought I'd pass it on just in case anybody hasn't gotten set up at Carbon yet:

Celebrate Super Bowl XLII in style with a value-added tournament!

it's a rebuy (limit = 1) no add on

So $22 tournament and they add $521. There are 90 people signed up. 12 minute levels. I'm not going to throw $22 at it.

eh. I don't blame you. I was actually at work when I got the e-mail, so I never went to the site for the details. Thanks for that. Is this bonus "good" as far as bonuses go, just for future reference?

I suppose, but there are costs involved in depositing on this site and I haven't attempted a cashout yet, haven't been able to play. I was going to start playing there after I finished my stars bonus.

I've been waiting for over two weeks to get my cash out from them.. They aren't sending me a check either, this is supposed to be a wire transfer.. :( They aren't on the Ridge List of good sites..

I actually went on today to shortstack $5/$10 NL with the little bit I put on the site to bust out or run it up infinite but there weren't any games.

So I went to $3/$6 but there weren't any games.

So I went to $2/$4 but there weren't any games.

So I went to $1/$2 but I had more than the min buy in.

So I'm playing O8 on Stars.

Maybe bring up live chat and request that they switch it to a check?

Well, there is one $2/$4 6 max table going. Real tight. Made $50 though. Please let me know if your cashout ever hits cuz if it does I prolly don't wanna go crazy there.

Ok, nevermind.... got on a 6 max table and pushed with AK and his PP held up. I'm busted out of there. I didn't have a lot of hope of cashing out easily, as I don't have any utility bills in my name, so I wanted to make the $$ worth it. I hope you get your money out.
