Two New HU MTTs, 1k and 1.5k Guarantees
Carbon Poker has added two weekend heads up tournaments to the schedule. Both are $20 + 2 tournaments, with 3,000 starting chips. The Saturday tournament starts at 4pm Eastern Standard Time (16:00 USA Eastern Time), and the Sunday tourney starts at the same time (16:00 USA Eastern Time). Saturday's has a guarantee of $1,000, while Sunday's is a guarantee of $1,500.
Carbon Poker also has a monthly heads up leaderboard with added value to heads up grinders. The leaderboard is a straight games race, so high volume is the only requirement for each buyin level, with prizes as high as $1,500, and 60 places paid every month.
Sign up on Carbon Poker today, and take advantage of all these promotions and tournament offers, as well as our free heads up poker video packs, starting at only $100 rake for over 400 free videos.
The leaderboard is driven by the number of qualifying games, not rake. For instance, if someone plays a $22, they get the same points for the midstake leaderboard as if they had a $60 game. Similarly, a $109 HUSNG counts the same as a $1050 on the highstakes leaderboard. Since action is sparser the higher up you go, lower stakes players always have a huge advantage in Carbon's leaderboard structure.
Anyway, it's cool that they're adding more HU tournaments. Hopefully, they'll have one with a 5k prize pool eventually.

Corrected. Thanks for pointing it out. I should've realized my mistake, I worked with them on designing that leaderboard. It has 4 levels, so not too bad, but at the highest level what you say makes sense.
