Carbon players are much tougher
So far I am doing well at carbon. Up about $360 at 25nl without rakeback and $435 with, winning at about 25bb/100. One thing I have noticed is that most players at least have a general clue and a lot are very decent players with only a few leaks. I guess this is because its mainly US players now that have to jump through a bunch of hoops to play. At first I thought this was a bad thing but am now realizing how good this is for my game. I am learning more and more about how to exploit regs and different layer types and it also doesn't feel like a grind as much because I have to actively think about my spots and what is going on. I am enjoying the competition a lot and can't wait for online poker to be legalized in the US so I can move up the stakes much faster with my new found experience against a much harder player pool. DC and the community has had a lot to do with my success and I want to thank you all. I feel very confident that I will be able to move through the stakes and conquer any challenge in my way thanks to you all. Since I have started at DC here is a graph of all my HU cash play. I have also made a ton at tourney since then but that isn't included here.
The bbs graph looks much better here

Seriously, that's great. I'm also finding it much, much tougher on Carbon. I've been playing at 4NL, and it seems like its a bunch of 10 and 25NL players from Stars who are trying to build their bankroll.

nice playing you also scott. @capiscc I am also worried about withdrawals as I have heard you have to give them a lot of unnecessary info in order to get one and also the check might not go through. Will update everyone once I make a cashout to let you guys know how it went. Will be cashing out $500 once I hit $1k that way I don't keep a ton of my roll online.

Yeah ive heard lots of bad things about cashouts so far. What method did you use to deposit? I believe the best way to cashout is through the method you used to deposit. Most likely Usemywallet or western union. I would NOT have them send a check. Just have them electronically transfer funds into the account you deposited with.
