If you want to increase the performance of the CarbonPoker software, we recommend that you:
By default, the CarbonPoker Software opens all new tables/games in new windows (). To change the game window modes:
If you select "New Window" you will also have Game Window Layout options - choose between "Single" or "2x2 Grid"
With the CarbonPoker software you can adjust the performance/graphic quality level and turn off animations.
Try turning off other programs that are running in the background. These programs such as instant messenger, downloads/streaming audio or video can increase lag in dial up and low-end broadband connections.
Spyware and Adware - CarbonPoker recommends removing all adware and spyware from your computer. These can cause problems when using the internet and can slow down even the fastest computers enough to affect your connection latency. A good place to start is the spyware/adware removal program that Microsoft provides here.
You can activate the large floating chat window two different ways.
Tagging means you can assign another player a particular tag of your choice. The tag can be select from several possibilities to reflect the player being tagged.
Example Player Tags: Shark, Buddy, King, Easy
Once you have assigned a tag to a player you will be able to see when they are online. Currently the tagging option does not provide you with the specific table of where your tagged player is seated.
There are two methods for tagging players:
This shows what percentage of players are staying in the game until at least the flop each hand.
This tells you how many hands that table is playing every hour.
This is the average size of the pot being gambled, per hand, at each respective table.
The waiting list enables you to add yourself to a table that may already be full. The waiting list will notify you when a position at that table becomes available.
Scheduled - these are tournaments scheduled by CarbonPoker to start at a specific time. CarbonPoker Freerolls can be found under the scheduled tab.
