Chan Poker For Mac
 Macintosh
Compatible Chan Poker
Mac players at Chan Poker have no interface problems, because
the official online poker room for Johnny Chan was one of the
first online poker rooms to provide software for all kinds of
computer users. ChanPoker.com wanted to make sure that all
players could play online poker at their site, and therefore
began using Mac-friendly software before most of the major
internet card rooms. Chan Poker requires no download.
Mac Chan Poker Players in the USA
Chan Poker does not accept real money wagers from US residents.
Therefore, Mac and Linux poker players cannot play at Chan
Poker.com, just as American players using PCs and Microsoft
products cannot play on Johnny Chan's site.
If you are looking for Mac compatible online poker, try Full
Tilt Poker or PokerStars.
Johnny Chan Poker for Mac
Chan Poker is the online poker home to living poker Hall of Fame
member Johnny Chan. If you watch poker on television, you
already know Johnny Chan. Johnny Chan is the last (and probably
will be the last) player to win back-to-back World Series of
Poker main events. Chan was also featured in the movie
Rounders, which was an early factor in the online poker boom
of the 2000's.
The Johnny Chan virtual poker room operates on the OnGame
Network, which is great news for Mac and Linux players. The
OnGame site offers one of the oldest and most trusted
browser-based poker software online.

in entry fee.
Chan Poker Mac Software Review
The OnGame Network
The Chan Poker software is powered by the OnGame network, which
was the first network to design software with compatibility for
all users in mind. On Game poker software offers a no-download
version of their software, which has many of the same features
as its windows download version counter part. To increase speed
and playability for the Mac players out there, the graphics and
sounds have been toned down a bit.
The software has everything you would expect it to have: game
chat, player notes, hand histories, find a friend, pre-select
buttons, table stats from lobby and a multi-table support with
active window toggle.
Chan Poker Games Traffic and Competition Review
Chan Poker operates on the world’s second largest online poker
network. During peaks hours, up to 7,000+ real money ring game
players and 25,000+ real money tournament players can be found
playing simultaneously. While Texas Holdem is still the most
popular game on the Chan Poker site, this virtual cardroom has
plenty of traffic at other games including Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7
Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, 5 Card Draw. Whether you play
micro limit, high stakes poker up to $1K/$2K or anything in
between, Chan Poker has plenty of action.
The player traffic is diverse, with games for Mac compatible
online poker players in most varieties and stakes.
Keep in mind that all the poker rooms at Chan Poker can
interface with Microsoft and Linux based systems, so Macintosh
poker players are able to play in every table in the Johnny Chan
Poker virtual cardroom.
Overall, the competition at Chan is about average. With any
network of this size, you’ll find plenty of soft games as well
as some more difficult ones. It should not be hard to find a
soft table, with all the table stats available from the poker
software’s lobby. It's also easy to follow the fish by using the
software “find a player” feature.

Chan Poker offers decent customer support which is available

website.

Johnny Chan Poker Profile
Johnny Chan is one of the most famous poker players in the
world. He is currently tied for second place, with Doyle
Brunson, for the most World Series of Poker victories. He holds
an amazing 10 WSOP bracelets.
Johnny Chan was also the last player to win back to back main
event championships (1987 and 1988) and came very close to
winning three in a row, but finished second to
Phil Hellmuth in 1989.
This was the first WSOP bracelet of the eleven Hellmuth would
eventually win, making Phil Hellmuth the only poker player to
have more bracelets than Johnny Chan.
Unlike many tournament players (including Phil Hellmuth), Johnny
Chan is most noted for his high stakes cash game play. As a cash
game specialist, where both players' money is really on the
line, Johnny Chan is one of the most feared opponents in the
world. Although Chan is now considered one of the most elite
high rollers in poker and has a huge fan base, his road to
success was not always a smooth course. |
