Default high fish factor and averaged rankings

hi

I agree I have done very well at Carbon ... I think in my review I've commented that where on other sites picking the best game is important strategy to winning (ie. you need to look in the lobby to avoid the bad games and find the good games with fish and no sharks)

but at Carbon you can pretty much go into any game at your preferred stakes and do well

It's been a very profitable site for me

the only reason it scores an 8/10 on the fish factor is the range of games at the higher limits (so the games that are their I would rank in with pacific and bodog for easy to win games)

just for reference the fish factor scores on the reviews are an unscientific average across micro / low / medium and higher stakes

so most sites have looser micro and low stakes games generally but a site will score higher when the quality of players doesnt seem to improve very much dispite going up the stakes

hope this makes sense - so as pokerstars and full tilt have a wide range of games where the micro / low games might be an 8/10 but the medium / higher games are a 5/10 or a 6/10 this gives an approx average of 7/10

cheers scrawnybob
