Poker software for Macs?
 

Is it just me - or is every single online poker room non mac compliant

It is such a huge pain in the ass having to remotely connect to my wife's Windows machine every time I want to play online poker. HELP!

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

And yes, I'm aware you can use virtual PC to play poker... but I'm looking for the web-based software - I know there is some out there!

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Yea, there are very few poker rooms that work on Macs :cry:

http://www.mac-poker.net lists two of the major ones that do, which have worked out great for me. Down the road I'm hoping more poker rooms will see the Mac market for what is really and make their software compliant.

Hey,

I think the site you meant is www.poker-mac.com.

I built the site with real info for the mac based poker enthusiast. It's called Poker-Mac. There is info there about OS X clients, Java clients, statistical analysis (have you seen Mac Poker Pro yet?) and other stuff.

Check it out. And email me if there is something I should include on the site..

Thanks

Nope, I meant http://www.mac-poker.net :confused:

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

PokerRoom.com are the best out there by a mile if you're a mac or linux user looking for some online poker action - three $500 freerolls a day and loads more stuff, but most importantly the client works with no fussing.

Great site, thanks :)

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Try www.macpoker101.com, they got good overview of the matter, and fairly objective reviews of Mac friendly poker rooms. :twisted:

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Yea - it blows my mind how such a large number of potential customers (Mac users across the globe) are being ignored by most poker sites. Now that Pacific (one of the biggest online poker rooms out there) offers mac compliancy I imagine others will eventually follow suite.

Its Unbelievible
 

Its Unbelievible, they say Mac users are more than 8 % of Web surfers, still we have to search for downloads like some underground cult.

Re: Its Unbelievible
 

Yep. The problem is we are too accomodating, instead of flat out refusing to use non-Mac software, we (instead of the software provider) go out of our way to be able to use it

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Oh, and I forgot to mention - if you do join Pacific, check out the "Mac Users" freeroll tourney that happens every week... I play when I can, its alot of fun and as friendly a tourney as you will find out there (aka lots of playful trash talk and joking around) :lol:

new room
 

There is a new room, PokerGrid, that has a download Mac version, haven't tried it yet, anyone has?

Re: new room
 

Yep, I wasn't too impressed though! I generally stick to the ones on Mac Poker , and then some of the ones with virtual PC just because I still have accounts there from my windows days. Rumour is Paradise Poker might be developing a mac compliant program available early in 2006, which could be cool!

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Have tried the gamegrid app, it is fine. the trafic is a bit slow though.

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Nah, not a big fan!

http://www.Mac-Poker.net mentioned something about a Mac Users only tourney, any idea when those are?

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

I've just tried www.bestpoker.com and works really good for mac. Sign in and get 100% deposit bonus. Just use the code bonus100

Re: Poker software for Macs?

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

I played in one a few weeks ago, every other Sunday maybe?

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

Hey FWIW there are some new options out there.

Check out the Poker-Mac Forums.

Even better is the offer at FreeMacPokerPro.com

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

They have Full Tilt Poker listed now - NICE! I've been waiting for their Mac Beta for some time... tried it out and it is amazing. I didn't realize how much better the downloadable software was than a Java based browser version :eek:

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

can poker be played in mac ? virtual pc maybe a solution for it ...

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

I highly recommend going to MacPokerOnline.com, an online poker for Mac site that really has all of their eggs in the basket. They have been around since Feb of 2005 and can be trusted, unlike most of the other sites that have been listed here.

There are also a numerous amount of other resources that can be found about online poker mac. If you look around you are bound to find a useful Texas Holdem for Mac site or two with promotions and bonuses that you are looking for.

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

I used this same website and found it helpful - I downloaded the FullTiltPoker client and was very impressed!

Re: Poker software for Macs?
 

I didn't read the whole thread so I dunno if this has already been mentioned but I use pokerroom.com's java client. Its pretty decent
