Poker Mac

It’s all over folks.

The Dark Sith Lord has crushed the chess champion.  Really a masterful tilt management exhibition by Pius overcoming a 3:1 deficit and a very long final heads-up session.  Well deserved congratulations!

Where to now?

Mac Poker players have had increasing options, until recently.  Mac compatible rooms were available at Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Ultimate Bet, Absolute Bet, Bodog, and more.  But the greatest player  counts were at Pokerstars and Full Tilt.  Since the indictments of Black Friday, these options are limited.  Rooms still open to US players include Bodog and the Merge network sites (including Carbon poker, Aced and Lock poker) which all have OS X clients.  Cake poker network sites are still open to US players using a PC emulator.

Where are folks actually playing?  Well 2+2 polled over 300 readers and the majority seem to be on Merge (4561 players online at the moment according to Merge), in second place is Bodog (935 seated players according to Bodog) and in third place are the cake network sites(1908 players according to Cake).

Beyond the 2+2 poll, pokerscout is reporting as still open for US play: Cereus (Absolute and UB), and several much lower volume sites such as: enet poker, everleaf poker, yatahay, world poker exchange, and betraiser).  Absolute and UB have disclaimers that US players are not playing on their sites, but rumors are that you can still play real money on these cereus sites.

Where are you playing?  Are you enjoying going back to using an emulator?  Comment below.
