Poker en ligne sur Mac?

[Freud]

Ça semble être compliqué joué au poker en ligne avec un Mac. Sur partypoker.net, on peut jouer play money, mais pas de tournois et pas de real money.

Quel site permet de jouer à l'argent avec un Mac?

Rapidement comme ça, y'a PokerRoom, Hollywood Poker, PartyPoker ... et y'a d'autres moyens aussi de jouer pas mal partout!

J'avais trouvé un article intéressant à ce sujet... je vais essayer de le retrouver et le poster sur le forum.

4 Options to Play Poker on a Mac

1. Use a Browser based online poker room

2. Playing at native online poker rooms

3. Use a virtual pc client

4. Do a dual boot using Boot camp (new)

1. Use a Browser based online poker room

An internet poker room that operates using java is compatible with Mac OS. Macintosh poker players who opt to use java shall be operating the program in the browser. A majority of new Mac OS are installed with Java Runtime. If Java isn't installed on the Mac users may download Java for free at Java.com. The 1st poker room to become Java based and supports Macs is an internet poker room called Pokerroom.com. This online poker room uses a download feature and gives Mac and Linux users the opportunity to play at their favorite poker room using the Java variation. Pokerroom has used this Java client since 1997. Pokerroom is a subsidiary of the Ongame Network of online poker rooms. Ongame Network is infamous for their incredible browser based internet poker rooms. Sister sites of Pokerroom.com are Holdempoker, Euro Poker, and e Card room.com. All of these sites operate on Macintosh. Other popular internet poker rooms that run on Java include Pacificpoker.com and Hollywood Poker. Some difficulties of using Java to play online poker include lagging program and potential disconnects. Java poker program also lacks extra accessories such as table sorting, hardcore graphics, and note taking features.

A newer battle against prohibited poker clients and cheaters is the use of DLL injection by bigger internet poker rooms such as Partypoker to recognize this bot-like program. Internet poker rooms are allowed to do this on their own client but can not do so on Java. These DLL injections by the poker room capture information about what software you are operating and then sends them back to the internet poker servers or sites. The internet poker rooms then take this info to see if you are using prohibited software to cheat the system such as Poker Edge or Poker prophecy. Some players say this is a mistreatment of privacy and are employing personal stopers of this DLL such as Anti-hook. In any case, the owner of Java poker clients can not run the DLL files to get your information because it is defended by the Java runtime sandbox model. It's really a privacy versus security issue. Some players would rather stop these DLLs from spying on them and some users like the fact that online poker rooms are employing these methods in their constant effort to discard cheats.

2. Playing at Native Internet poker rooms

A native internet poker room is compiled of client that shall allow Macintosh users to actually download the application. Native internet poker rooms give users more abilities and accessories when playing the application. Note taking, avatars, all in percentages, and added features are some of the good things that native client has over Java based online poker rooms. Some players also notice more stability when playing a downloadable poker room that runs on a Macintosh. There are not many native poker rooms that run on Mac OS than on Java. Full tilt is a new addition to the native Macintosh poker program. Bugsys club and Gamesgrid are long time owners of native Macintosh poker client.

3. Run a pc emulator to operate Poker program on a Macintosh

A PC emulator simply mimics a Windows climate within a Mac OS. Virtual PC is a application invented by Microsoft that allows Mac users to run Windows based software. Common complaints made by Mac Virtual PC users are that it runs very sluggishly and isn't immune to viruses like macs. Virtual PC is also normally referred to as a PC emulator. Costs of this program range but the average cost is near $100. Users must also purchase Windows application in order to run Windows software. This option is relatable to Performing a dual boot as Macintosh users can run Both OS X and Windows on the same computer. Non-Intel users must use this option as opposed to Performing a dual boot because dual boots may only be done on Macintosh that have an Intel processor.

4. Conducting Dual Boots to Play internet poker

This is the most recent advancement in the Mac poker community. The idea has been long sought by Macintosh users wanting to operate Windows software on their Macintosh. Mac OS that use Intel can perform this dual boot nicknamed Apple boot camp. Apple boot camp may be downloaded from Apple for free. One stipulation for Mac users to perform this dual boot is that they must have a licensed copy of Windows in order to continue with the dual boot commonly referred to as partitioning of a hard drive. Once the dual boot process is complete players may operate online poker programs such as Partypoker and other large Windows based web sites.

DLL privacy Invasion Potentials

It should also be noted that now you will be using Windows you are susceptible to Trojans, viruses, and worms commonly infecting Windows applications. These viruses and bugs may not affect your Macintosh programs, but it is recommended to get some sort of Virus protection program for your Windows software side. As we talked about above some poker rooms are employing there own Trojan-like DLLs to spy on you. This snooping around by the internet poker room is meant to keep you safe but you must be aware that once you download client that is not Java these poker rooms do have the capability of snooping around your programs to see what you are doing. Using illegal application to cheat at online poker will be detected and you must understand that these internet poker rooms can also view other hidden applications on your computer. This isn't meant to scare users but rather to keep you aware of what online poker rooms are doing with an intent to keep you safe. If you are worried about a potential invasion of private material on your computer we do recommend using Java clients instead.

Choosing an Option That Suits You

It all depends on the user's potential to understand operating systems as to which option above to go forward with. Online poker for Macs may also be expensive if users choose to go the Windows route. More complicated processes such as the Apple dual boot will allow for greater flexibility in the long run but users must understand the technical aspects of partitioning a hard drive as files can be lost during this process.
