In the ultimate poker showdown with Cake Poker vs Carbon Poker we compare the two online poker rooms to help you decide where to play poker online in the aftermath of Black Friday. The two USA poker sites are still accepting worldwide players including US players.
Both poker rooms are the flagships sites on their poker networks, CakePoker on the Cake Poker Network and CarbonPoker on the Merge Gaming Network.
While neither of the two sites can be compared to PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker, but they are still great alternative poker rooms where the recreational poker players can still play poker online for real money.
Bodog Poker are currently working on an update which will be released before the end of 2011, the update will prevent poker tracking software and websites from gathering data, statistics and information. BodogPoker believe that players using the information are taking advantage of the casual poker players which often results in players not returning to the site.
Another big change which will affect their traffic, will be when Bodog Poker block USA Players at the end of the year when Bodog renew their gaming license they will no longer accept US players to play poker online at BodogPoker.
So next year we can expect to see Bodog Poker operating as a non USA Poker site with no option to use a poker hud or any software or website which used to mine data. I’m sure the poker community will have mixed feelings when the update comes into effect, some may argue that poker tools do not disadvantage other players, while casual players might feel safer playing online knowing that the sharks aren’t analyzing their playing style or gaining important information on them.
