Default Re: I Like Mac\'s and I like Poker Stars

ok i've done some more research

i seemed to have the idea that you could just run PT and whatever on the mac system thing, but you'd actually have to switch to windows and run all poker programs off the windows bit right?

ie. you can't run party poker on the mac machine, then run PT/PAhud on the windows machine?

thanx for ur patience, im just tryin to wrap my head around this (and looking at possibly getting a macbook pro over a dell)

Forget getting parallels or boot camp.... Look a program called CrossOver, pm me if you want that is how I play on stars. Greatest program ever.

No offense, but those sources have absolutely zero information regarding a release date, let alone "probably by the end of the month."

Also I signed up for the beta test for the Pokerstars for Mac and it was horriblely flawed. It is going to be a while before they get it right.

New Mac OS comes out Oct 26th. If you're still planning on buying a MacBook Pro I'd wait till then.

Why not just BootCamp XP with Stars and PT? in theory you shouldn't be doing much besides playing poker while playing poker.
If you surf the net and like Safari (even though I think it's wretched) theres a PC version of that program available that you can run on the XP side.

If you like the mac get the mac, pokerstars will be available on macs, without parallels, probably by the end of the month, but could be longer.

I don't know about the "end of the month" thing... but a Macintosh client has been in "open beta" testing for several months, for play money players.

I guess my only worry like many others is that I may not be technically sound enough to run parallels/whatever operating systme and it seems there isnt any standard out there yet is there? Or is bootcamp going to be that?

It's really easy to install/run Parallels. Same thing with Bootcamp.
