MacPoker101 announces the launch of MacPoker101.com, the premium guide to Mac compatible online poker.

Launched today, MacPoker101.com supplies valuable information and broad overview to Macintosh users who want to join the online poker boom and play poker using their preferred operating system.

MacPoker101.com features articles and reviews of Mac poker rooms, enabling Mac users to get up-to-date information and tips on the best Mac compatible poker rooms.

The increasing popularity of online poker is part of the poker tidal wave that's sweeping America and the rest of the world. The unprecedented media attention given to this summer's WSOP events, and The New York Times' decision to include a weekly poker column in its sports section are two recent indications of the
current golden age of poker.

Until recently, most leading online poker rooms have been off limits to the Macintosh community, focusing almost entirely on the larger Windows-based PC sector.

Party Poker, the world's most popular online poker room is the most obvious example of a PC- centric poker site, which Mac users can't play at.

However, this year, more and more major poker sites are opening their gates to the Mac community, offering either downloadable Mac versions or platform-agnostic no-download Java solutions.

MacPoker101.com's goal is to provide Macintosh users with a broad overview of the growing Mac online poker scene, offering the Mac community the latest info on the best Mac compatible poker rooms, such as PokerRoom, Pacific Poker, Hollywood Poker, and BugsysClub.

In addition, MacPoker101.com offers constantly updated poker news, real time RSS feeds and direct links to the best poker blogs on the Net, and more.

With its launch, Macpoker101.com creates a Web-based meeting point between the world's most exciting game and one of its higest quality online community.
