    Default Pokerstarts on yer mac?

    I've been playing on PS at work on my PC, but I just got internet at home, where I have a Mac. PS won't friekin install! Full Tilt works just fine...but I've built up a nice little BR on pokerstars and I want to play at home so that it gets even fatter.

    Anyone else have this problem or a solution to it? I run 10.3 btw.

    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    I don't think there is a mac version of PS (there is one for FTP, which is why it works).

    Do you have a dual-core processor so you can dual boot windows with Parallels? That is probably the best way to go.

    Bootcamp works too, but then you have to reboot to launch windows, Parallels will let you run windows within the Mac OS.

    I'm really not too Mac savvy (apart from what I've already said), but I think you may be SOL until PS comes out with a Mac version.

    What level are you playing at? If $25NL or less, stick with FTP as rakeback will work. PS doesn't have any rakeback deals available.

    $50NL-$200NL is the Cardrunners shooting gallery, so you may want to stay away from those levels on FT.

    Pokerstars doesn't need a huge amount of power. Just get a really old used computer for a couple hundred bucks and use that to play Pokerstars.
