Macpoker pro

I'm currently running parallels on my macbook to play on pokerstars and use pokertracker and pokerace hud, but it is buggy and unreliable for the amount of time and money I am working with when playing. I'm thinking about switching sites to FT and did some research on pokertracker like programs that are mac compatible. The only one I came across was Macpoker pro, and after doing a little research it seems like it is still in the beginning stages but is overall a good and pretty reliable app. Has anyone had any experience with it? Thanks.

I have been strongly considering a MacBook Pro laptop. Have you tried using Bootcamp to directly run Windows w/o using an emulated form?
Also which OS of windows are you running? From what I've read, Vista shouldn't be run on Parallels w/o 4 gig of ram.

No need to play poker in the Mac OS, just use Boot Camp and you won't have any more problems than you would on another PC manufacturer.

I have nothing to say about Macpoker Pro, I do, however, have been playing on MBP for about 2 months now. Parallels is way too buggy and crash too much. I haven't spent anytime trying to figure out why it's crashing, but it goes down pretty consistently 2-3 times a day running XP and just PS (no HUD, etc). VMWare Fusion has been much more reliable (probably crashed only 2 or 3 times in 1 month). You can use it for free during 1 month trial and see if it works for you.
