Welcome
to MacPoker101
The poker wave that's sweeping America and
the rest of the world is reaching the Mac community. Every
day more and more Mac users find that they, too, can join
the exciting world of online poker. Most Mac users, however, still think online poker is off-limits for them. It is true that
among the top 20 poker rooms, only BugsysClub currently offers a downloadable Mac version, but two of the top 5 sites,
Pacific Poker and
PokerRoom have top-notch no-download Java applets
that enable us Mac users to enjoy the online poker experience
to the fullest.
MacPoker101
is here to carry this message and serve
as a gateway for those Mac users who take their first
steps in Online Poker. MacPoker101
will also be a home for experienced online poker players
among Mac lovers. They will find here up-to- date information,
useful tips, and valuable articles. But we dont intend
to just sit back and talk bad beats and high hands.
Our goal is to gradually build a large enough community
of Mac and poker fans to act as a pressure group on
the leading poker rooms, and make them change their
unreasonable "No Mac, please" policy.
Mac users are not a meaningless,
tiny fraction of the online community as most poker
rooms seem to think we are.
The Software Publishers Association (SPA) estimates
that 16% of computer users are on Macs. According to
a 2002, Nielsen/ NetRatings survey,
Mac users make up for more than 8% of the online population.
The 2005 numbers are likely to be higher.
According to the survey,
Mac users are more educated, live in higher income households
and are more Web savvy than their PC-compatible counterparts.
MacPoker101
is here to make the leading poker rooms understand that
joining Pacific Poker,
PokerRoom
and BugsysClub
and opening their gates to Mac users is simply the right
and smart thing to do.
We dare to hope that with your help, MacPoker101,
the first ever poker site for Mac users, will be that
player who comes from nowhere, sit at the table and
change the course of the game.

Hollywood
+ Poker + Mac = High Concept!
Hollywood has seen better times. Poker has never
known better days. The dream factory with the glorious past and
the card game with the bright future meet on Hollywood
Poker, a glamorous poker
room with a no-download Java solution that greenlights
every Mac
user big time.
The game volume is impressive
(6000-9000 simultaneous players), and the software
utilizes the same solid platform we know from
PokerRoom, but there's something
else that sets Hollywood
Poker apart. Hollywood
Poker lives up to its name and enables players
to occasionally play online poker with stars
and celebrities like actor James Woods, World Poker
Tour commentator Vince
Van Patten (both have a stake in the venture),
Mimi Rogers, and Ricki Lake. Go Ricki, go Ricki, and come back when you have
enough chips...
