Online Poker for Macs - Free Mac Poker

I just got word of the Macintosh software for Party Poker that went live with the native Mac Party client. It's pretty sick. I really wasn't expecting it so soon. The manager kind of sprung it on me and all the sudden it was out. But, thank god it's finally released. And also, its nice to see a billion dollar company build a native version instead of just that Java style they put out earlier.

But, I still hate Party Poker as a player. Too many rude people play there so I stick to other places. Party Poker sure does attract some weird people. Maybe us Mac users can bring some decency and civilization to these thugs.

Played at Full Tilt poker on Mac

Ok I just got finished playing at Full Tilt Poker on my Mac. As you well know from my previous posts I am very happy with the software.

Aces at Full Tilt Poker

To start the game off I was dealt pocket aces. Can't beat that the first hand. I was playing the $5/10 NL game and busted out first hand. The pot was raised and reraised a ton preflop to the point where I just went all in. There was one play who only had like $300 and he called before the all-in. Another played called my raised for $600. Turns out the sizeable stacked guy had pckt kings and tripped up on the flop. Great way to start off.

Busting Out at Full Tilt Poker

It was all downhill thereafter. Busting out two more times I decided to take a small intermission to gather my thoughts and beat the crap out of my bean bag I have in a room. Going back for more I donked off another $2K building it up to about $5,000. Lovely. Screw it, I went up to the $5,000 NL tables which I never do. Doubled up in about 5 minutes and left.

On Tilt at Full Tilt Poker

I was on major tilt which is why I left. My nerves are terrible these days and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Poker is just a recreational game for me these days not because I was a losing player but because I was wasting away my life playing cards all night.


So I'm back playing the $5/10 tables like usually and hopefully I won't go on tilt anymore then needed.

Poker for Mac

If you read this blog alot you probably remember the article about that huge cash game played online. Well after writing the article I got so many visitors asking me where the best places were to play high stakes poker so I wrote up a quick review of high stakes poker rooms.

In the article I weeded out all the sites that have high stakes poker but don't have a lot of traffic. Traffic is the most important thing when you're looking for a high stakes poker room.

The article I wrote about the high stakes game played between bad_ip and fast_freddie ended up getting published all over the internet. Its amazing how many people are talking about it. Supposedly bad_ip bounced back from that $800,000 loss that night but Jesus that's a big hit.

I'm still a little skeptical of the game. If you dont' know what I'm talking about then here is the full article again.

To me it almost seemed staged but what the hell do I know. What would the guy pretend he was freddie deebs? It just doesnt make sense unless they were trying to get publicity for the poker room.

Either way hope you enjoy the articles because I'm off to bed.
