Wine and SBR Poker software don't get along too well. It runs, but it lags and oftentimes leaves one out of hands. So begrudgingly I am going to return my laptop to a dual boot with WIN7 so I can play SBR poker and watch Netflix when needed.
Sorry to hear that I was hoping for better reports as I'd like to use my ubuntu laptop for SBR poker but haven't got around to trying it yet. Guess I'm stuck on my cruddy xp machine I keep around for work.
Getting a Macbook in the near future. Have to use Parallels but that's not so bad esp in coherence mode.
uofa, have you tried Bodog poker with wine? I can't seem to get Bodog working and haven't tried SBR. Bodog seems to load fine but can't connect to the site citing a network error.
