For those of you Mac owners looking to crunch your opponents' numbers while playing online, check out Poker Copilot.
The program can be downloaded at www.pokercopilot.com for $50 — and it's well worth the investment. I used it on a 30-day trial period and plan to get myself a copy in the very near future.
Of course, the program won't win money for you on its own, but it's helpful when you face decisions. It can back up some impressions you have of other players with solid numbers, which can make your decisions easier to make.
If you play for any kind of stakes at all, you'll more than make your $50 back in a short time.
There seems to be a ton of these types of programs for PCs, but this is the only one I've stumbled across for Mac users. Check it out.

Miss me?
If anyone is still bothering to log in, I apologize for my recent absence. Not only have I been frustrated with my online poker performance, I've been swamped.
But I jumped back in Saturday night with a $26 and an $11 with huge fields. In the $11, which featured about 320 players, I finished fifth for $219, my biggest online tournament cash.
But it could have been better. This hand would have basically put me in a three-way tie for first with first place paying $800. Made a great call on the turn, and the guy hit a six-outer (87-13 underdog) to knock me out.
Here it is:
Stacks:
BB with 99898
UTG with 113715
MP with 56489
BTN with 48402
SB with 150996
Blinds: 2,000-4,000 with ante (250 each I think)
Site: Full Tilt Poker
Dealt to BTN:9♥ T♣
Preflop:
2 players fold.
Hero raises to 10,000
SB calls [8,000]
1 players folded.
Total folds this street: 3
Potsize: 18006
Just trying to steal. Had played extra tight for a while, so I thought I'd get away with it. Looking at his hand, the SB should have either shoved or folded. Don't like the flat call at all.
Flop: 6♠ 3♣ 3♦
SB checks Hero bets [10,000]
1 players fold.
SB calls [10,000]
Potsize: 28016
Now I'm in deep, and I start to fear he has a hand. Again, in hindsight, he made the worst move possible. If he bets, I likely fold. If he's going to call, he should just shove since my bet looks like what it was, a continuation bet.
Turn: 9♠
SB bets [130,496, and is all in] Hero calls [27,902] [ all-in ]
I hate calling with top pair, crappy kicker, but I'm in deep. And his bet looked like a massive bluff. It's all the same if he bets 130,000 instead of 28,000, but the fact that he put all of his chips in, and the fact that he snap-shoved as soon as it was his turn to act, smelled weak. And it was. I made a great call, I think.
SB shows : J♠ K♣ Hero shows : 9♥ 10♣
Uncalled bet of 102,594 returned to SB
Potsize: 102,304
He has six outs, three jacks and three kings. And:
River: J♥
