The Well: Aba20

[Brent.]

I play poker on a Mac. PokerTracker is not supported for Mac, so I am unable to use this or any other HUD program. Do you think it's detrimental to an online player's success to not be able to use these programs? Would you highly recommend doing whatever it takes to play on a PC instead so I can take advantage of these programs?

Any chance you have an Intel Mac? Boot Camp and Parallels both work really well for me.

G4 Powerbook...I'm not sure what an Intel Mac is...Mac w/Intel processor? You have links to Boot Camp and Parallels? Do they work on Full Tilt? Thanks for the tip, btw.

Brent.-

Yeah, the newer Macs have Intel processors. Boot Camp and Parallels allow you to run Windows directly on the Mac. They won't work on non-Intel processors, though. You can use Virtual PC, but I hear that it's very slow.

aba20,

many thanks for doing this--we really appreciate it when superstars such as yourself and El D spare some of your time on helping us out.


1. What is the most important thing you've learned related to poker in the last month? 3 months? 6 months? year?

2. Is there anything you 'learned' about poker that you had to work hard to unlearn?

3. Do you coach?

4. How do you feel about shortstackers?

again, thanks

First off, thank you Aba. I don't think you or Diablo realize how helpful and encouraging it is to have high stakes players spend a little time down here and share their insights and stories. I don't really have any important questions, but I your input did sway me to sign up for CRers, so I threw a referral your way. Make sure to buy something nice with the $20 or whatever [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] .
