want to Mac it up....

[jrobb83]

Yeah, don't bother with Virtual PC. It will let you play on the mac, but not more than one table well. So in my opinion its not worth the money.

Heh, my OS of choice is Linux (Gentoo distribution) and while I got Paradise working with Wine, I was unsuccessful with anything else (including Poker Tracker). I gave up trying and am now dual-booting into XP when I want to play poker.

If you're going to be serious about online poker, a PC is the way to go. As I got serious, I noticed there was more software I wanted to run -- Poker Tracker, a HUD -- and gave up on running Linux exclusively. I think you'll have to do the same with your Mac.

Alright, I think I got the idea [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
My new computer is awesome for everything but poker.
Thanks everyone

No pokerroom will work and has some great games. I play there also

I own a Mac too, but have a PC just for poker... the PC is a 4 year old machine running Win2000. Would Virtual PC on a current dual processor Mac really run PartyPoker worse than my 4 year old PC?

Full Tilt Poker will release a Mac client within the next few months.

Probably: Yes. May depend on what kind of Mac you have but still...

Hey, I've just been trying out this new poker game called Live3DPoker. I am not using a mac, but their download page has downloads for both windows AND mac. Its a real application too, none of that crazy java stuff. I think you should give it a try before you dish out all that money! The url is www.live3dpoker.com

Let me know if you try it.
Maybe I'll even see you on there later!

You seem way too excited in your posts regarding this poker site.

Smells a bit spammish, but I'll let more experienced posters make that determination.

I'm sorry. I'm new here, I didn't mean to make my post look like spam. TheBlueMonster did look legitimately disappointed. I figured I'd try to help him out by throwing in my two cents [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I used to play poker online a lot a couple years ago,
and recently got back into it when I came across that site. I came to these forums to see what others think of it, and I can't find much of anyone talking about it. Actually I -am- excited, because there are finally some decent -looking- poker games coming out. All of the new ones are all so bland. :\

Anyway, I hope TheBlueMonster reads these replies.
