I've played a bunch on Pokerstars with wine after windows crapped out last time and before I got Portal. Did not get any crashes. PS support has been pretty good for a couple of years now. But as you probably know this shit can change version from version.
HUD won't work.
Virtualbox is not a completely ridiculous solution either with window integration and a 5 sec. boot time from hybernate.
