Better late than never! The (almost) full download version of PartyPoker for Macs was released yesterday. This version runs very smooth and runs 10,000x better then party poker on virtual PC. You can download it right from PartyPoker.com
The new Mac software works great, except it is lacking a tournament lobby. So Mac tournament and sng players are out of luck for now. Although having no access to tournaments is a big drawback, I’m extremely thrilled [...]
When you’re playing poker, there are a few things you should never do. One of them is berating the fish. As much as you’d like to go off on player after they lay a bad beat on you, you just have to take the beat like a man, and move on.
An example of berating a fish would be, “Wow you’re so terrible at poker. How do you call down the gutshot straight draw to the river with terrible pot [...]
Party Poker released Anywhere today, which is their latest Mac compatible no download version. Party Poker Anywhere offers a bunch of improvements over NoDownload (the previous beta version) including real money play, faster interface, improved menus, and more features. Party Anywhere is still in beta, which means there’s room for improvement.
Real money cash game play is the biggest improvement that Anywhere has over the previous no download version. For the very first time Mac users can play at [...]
I attribute most of my success as a poker player to being an active member of a Poker Forum. I was able to learn so much by talking to players about strategy, discussing hand histories, reading about other players’ problems, and meeting poker players who I’ve become good friends with.
Out of the hundreds of poker forums I consider Internet Texas Holdem, and Poker Strategy Forums the best ones. Internet Texas Holdem is a very large poker [...]
This isn’t a rumor and I’m not talking about the no download party poker that they’ve been beta testing. Party Poker is releasing a full Mac version. The affiliate manager at party poker told me, “The Mac version should be available by the end of this month.”
I don’t have specific details, but I assume it will run just like Full Tilt Poker’s Mac version. Full Tilt’s Mac client installs just like any other application, and runs like [...]
So many players get dealt Ace King in poker and think, “how can I get my chips all in pre flop?” Try and get your chips all in preflop with pocket Aces, Kings, or maybe even Queens, but you don’t always have to try and get your chips in pre-flop with Ace King.
Unless you’re late in a tournament and everyone’s short on chips, you’re rarely going to be better then 50/50 with Ace King. Any pair has an edge over [...]
I just received an email from party poker that said the completed no download Mac compatible version will be available by mid September.
The beta version was released in july along with a few Mac party poker ads, but the beta software hasn’t been updated since. They told me that they have taken all suggestions into consideration and are implementing them along with all the features the beta Mac version is lacking.
