Category: Wouldn’t it be a perfect poker world if Mac, Linux and PC operating systems could work their mojo at all available poker rooms? More competition, more money and ultimately, more fun! (What comes next is the inevitable use of the word unfortunately.) Unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, we live in a world that is far from perfect, and is doubly unfortunate that it has translated to the online poker world.
Everyone is fully aware that Internet poker has been built around the use of the PC, and nobody knows this better than Mac owners who love to play poker! Certainly, many Mac users have found the paths that lead to Internet poker bliss, but in the same breath, let us not forget that there are those who are still lonely for that Internet poker room interaction! Continue reading and consider yourself pointed in the right direction! There’s no reason to feel left out any longer; more importantly, there’s no reason to be left out any longer! The bad news rings like this: You will have few options to choose from. The good news: The options you can choose from are of the highest quality!
To begin your search you can do one of two things. You can go the research paper route, and type “Mac poker” into a search engine. No worries here. There will be little to sift through, and you will definitely find some information worthwhile, but if you want to strike gold with your first stroke, consider entering the same keywords into one of the most common poker sites. Not only will you find a decent list of Mac poker rooms to choose from, you’ll find detailed reviews and direct links offered to the very site. If you’re looking for poker tournament play or ring games, No Limit Texas Hold ‘em or 7 Card Stud, you’ll find all the information you’re hoping for within the site review!
Another option for Mac users to get into more online action is through a PC emulator such as Virtual PC. This will allow your Mac OS to perform as a PC at certain compatible sites. This will more than double your options of potential poker rooms, but unless you have need for an emulator for other activities, exercise some spending discipline and give one or the entire Mac site list a shot first! You probably won’t have to test many options before you find a nice fit.
You’ll find that sites such as the popular Pacific Poker (www.pacificpoker.com); Poker Stars (www.pokerstars.com); Hollywood Poker (www.hollywoodpoker.com); and Macintosh dedicated Full Tilt Poker (www.fulltiltpoker.com) are all available, and hot with tournament and ring game action! Case and point, with sites like these available, there will probably never be a need to emulate a PC; as the industry grows, poker rooms will be wise to accommodate Mac users or face the possibility of losing potential customers and better bottom line. Now, go get in the action. Mac or PC, poker is poker, and you were smart enough to buy a Mac, so let those smarts trickle down to a nice disciplined poker game!
