    Lots of poker players use VMware and run windows to play. There are some sites that have specific clients but most do not cater to macs. Alternatively there is linux with a windows emulator but it can be complicated if you don't have experience.

      I know you can use FullTilt on a Mac. I didn't find any other sites to use but admittedly I also haven't searched for a new one in close to a year so that may have changed now.

                  Yes there is a way to play poker on a mac but you have to invite your friends over and use real cards and chips.

                        Not only do Mac's protect you from computer viruses but they also protect you from getting hustled by a table full of correlated players discussing their hands over conference call and dumping chips

                        Is online poker software rigged? No

                        Can online poker sites eliminate correlation? No

                        Do yourself a favor commute to a nearby casino and play poker stay away from online play, especially in cash games unless you are playing heads up.

                              Exactly how is a Mac going to prevent this?

                                I think what he is saying is that online poker is rigged. Play only with people you know with physical cards and chips.

                                  I play full tilt and pokerstars.com on my MacBook air, iBook, Mac mini's but nobody has ipad interfaces yet. The best part is when my pc friends come over and they get the timer because their hardware/os is so jacked and I sail smooth.

                                    get software called Parallels, this way you can use your windows and mac apps at the same time. boot camp will only let you choose to boot into either windows or mac os
