- Smilies -
Lets face it table talk is a huge part of poker, and while you lose some of the animation of a live table talk when your just typing text in a box, at carbon poker they are making it goal to put some of that animation back in. When typing several words into chat, your works are magically transformed to animated smilies. Type fish and see a shark swim through and eat the fish or type donkey and see a donkey kicking up his heels.
