The snotty/hippy attitude you get from owning a Mac is more than worth the money.

Actually wait...

Say what you want about Party, but Full Tilt has some of the worst no-limit and MTT players on earth.

Re: Why is PartyPoker the biggest online poker site?
 

Party has been in business as long as any other site, and until recently did far more effective marketing than the other sites. This marketing attracts more people on the fringes of the game, ie "fish." Hence, more fish at party would be the main reason I can see to be there. I have not actually played on party yet, but was with Empire beofre the split, which I assume is pretty much the same level of competition. By the way, I suck, so don't listen to me.

Re: Why is PartyPoker the biggest online poker site?
 

I agree with lapoker17. Since when did walking down the road wearing leather and attempting to look tough equate to better poker? Seems more fitting in a Judas Priest video.

Your Mac hatred is unfounded and wrong.

macs have over 5% market share. that's 1 in every 20 people, which is a significant portion of the market. why do you think full tilt and others are developing mac clients?

[/ QUOTE ]

the demo/psychographics of mac owners do not add up to a large percentage of them playing online poker - or any poker. if you think these sites didn't do research on this, i would imagine you are incorrect. if they are now developing mac compatibility, it is only because they have eliminated most all of the more profitable software improvements for pc.

hahah. hi lawrence. you never post no limit hands anymore.

i helped start a company that ran on a java platform and had many mac compatability issues. we did extensive research to figure out where to best allocate resources with regard to improving mac compatibility vs adding features to improve the experience of pc users. during this time i learned a lot about who mac users are. this was all done with data. once you have the profiles/data, you can easily apply age old database marketing/relational models to figure out what these people like/don't like, how they spend their leisure time etc. so, my knowledge of who mac users are, and how they fit into the world allows me to state that they are not very important when it comes to online poker.


there are numerous books about this stuff if you are still perplexed.


crystal ball would have been sweet though.

Re: Why is PartyPoker the biggest online poker site?
 

a) I've heard a rumor that FullTilt is coming out with a Mac client.

b) wouldn't just buying VirtualPC be cheaper and more rational?

VirtualPC is really really slow. Plus, it defeats the purpose of having a Mac in the first place, because you are just using windoze anyways.

Am I the only one that is continuously getting a chuckle over the idea of Diddy (or whatever) virulently defending Macs? I picture him waiting in line at the Apple store for the latest iPod gizmo or OS.

Re: Why is PartyPoker the biggest online poker site?
 

I use a Mac at work. I have a PC at home on which I play poker. I agree that Macs are superior machines, but for my purposes, my HP serves me well.

What bugs me, though is whay the biggest sites haven't all had Mac clients written by now.

Nope. Actually, if you read my OP, I said I just switched to a PC. I had a first generation iPod, but I don't know what happened to it, I think it got stolen.

FWIW, I was only provoked by your and others use of the term "wintel," simply because I prefer PCs, but dislike both Intel and Microsoft.

I don't really have a problem with Mac users or Macs in general; I just like to watch you guys get your panties in a bunch.

And seriously, what good is the hardware if I can't play on Dikshit's site without a PC emulator?

Enjoy!

Re: Why is PartyPoker the biggest online poker site?
 

Fair enough, sir.

I have a cheapo Dell at home to use Party...I wouldn't
insult my Mac by installing Virtual PC or any other
MicroSuck apps.

As for my panties...they are never bunched; I use
an old hot-running GateWay machine as an iron.

Apple makes mistakes!)

Oh dear, you just postcounted me? I think you missed the point with the Simpson's guy reference, it was more a dig at your social ineptitude and obsessive one-eyed arguing over insignificant differences in technology that the majority of people couldnt care less about. Good job derailing the thread though.
