I found in an earlier post that Full Tilt has a Mac beta but are there any other rooms that support Mac?

Does anyone play the Full Tilt Mac beta? How is it working out for you?

I would use VirtualPC but it costs a fair chunk of change for a relatively minor convenience (I have a Mac laptop but I play poker on my Windows desktop, but it sure would be nice to be able to play where ever i go ). Also I'm pretty new with Mac so are there any other Windows emulators that work well but maybe don't cost an arm and a leg?

Any other info in this regard would be tops!

Thanks,
Hal

I understand B2B network rooms are Mac compatible (FTR search Martinspoker, Staffpoker, No1poker, Pokerihuone, 24hpoker.)

In addition, I understand Pokerroom skins are compatible with Mac. http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ight=mac+rooms (Pokerroom, Bayou, Eurobet, Hollywood, etc.)

Also mentioned are Checknraise, Ladbrokes, Pacific, GamesGrid, pokerpages aka Bugsys Club.
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.

I ocassionally use virtualPC (I have a mac laptop as well as PC desktop), and I'd really recommend it only as a last, poker-starved resort... It's pretty brutal.

To say the least, I have a G4 Powerbook, and had to turn off all animations for pokerstars to even run smoothly. (the card dealing is ugly now, the cards just show up, but it's better than nothing). I can multi-table maybe 2/3, but that's pushing it. Party poker runs even slower than pokerstars.

I really really hope that more sites take full tilt's lead and build some native poker clients.

I'd try full tilt, but i'm not good enough/have a BR enough to clear the bonus.
