Full Tilt Poker launches beta version of it’s MAC platform
Full Tilt Poker launched a beta version of it’s MAC poker software this week. The new software, that behaves exactly like it’s PC cousin, was developed especially for computers with MAC OS 10.3 or higher installed. A 800Mhz or faster processor is recommended as well as 512MB of RAM or more.
The MAC market is an estimated four percent of the PC market, but growing, due to the success of Apple’s iPod products. Other poker rooms that are available to MAC users are PokerRoom.com…

Poker argot:
- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
- DEALER'S CHOICE - In home games, a rule that permits the dealer to name which poker game to be played that hand. Often limited to selecting from a list provided.
- OVER - A term used in describing two pair or a full house. "Kings over tens" means two pair, kings and tens. "Jacks over", also "Jacks up" describes a hand that is two pair: Jacks with an unspecified lower pair. Also used to describe a full house, distinguishing the three of a kind from the pair. The hand J-J-J-A-A could be described as "Full house, Jacks over Aces".
