Mac Compatible?

[alanchiras 0]

I'm working on an article for www.macintouch.com on which poker sites are REALLY Mac compatiable and which ones are downright Mac hostile. For example, I won a freeroll from cashless poker I play toget into a $1000 game at bodog.com; but when I brought up the site it was windows only I was SO angry. So, which ones have the decently to be truly Mac compatable, and which ones just pretend to be. Thanks! Alan Chiras.

Thanks, I will try them. Does this mean that ALL the other sites are Mac hostile??? Thanks! Alan Chiras.

Well, not exactly. PokerStars currently has Mac software in development, still in Alpha stages though, and Party Poker and any Ongame skin (PokerRoom, Hollywood Poker, etc.) has browser-loadable clients that also work on Linux/UNIX machines (if you're not american, of course).Other than the lack of clients, the thing that keeps me from getting a mac is the lack of poker tools available on it (poker tracker, poker ace, pokerstove, and the like). if the clients were made available on mac, but those pieces of software weren't, then i wouldn't switch.

Being a Mac user myself, I found that, as it stands, FullTilt Poker is the best site for cash games.However, I've been fortunate enough to be able to test out PokerStars Alpha for Mac. It's expectantly inferior to the Windows version as it stands and has just two cash tables, at .01/.02 blinds each, at which I'm yet to see any players, and is for Mac users only, meaning that you're looking at around 500 players on at one time. The key factor of it all though is that PokerStars is clearly working for its Mac Users, and a fully-fledged poker room for them should be up within a matter of months.Edit: Oh, and, like you, running BootCamp for Windows is not conisdered as compatible for Mac, as far as I'm concerned.I hope this helped. For any more information on my quest for poker on a Mac (that got tedious at points, to say the least), just give me a shout.Zach.
