Playing casino poker in Linux

[AmpersUK]

Greetings,

I have tried my present games in Linux but they have not been satisfactory.

I am asking whether anyone her knows whether any poker gaming website has actually written their access software for the Linux operating system?

Thanks, I went there and downloaded the Linux version but could not open the file at all.

cd ~/Desktop
tar zxfv SimbaPoker.tgz
./SimbaPoker

Thanks for that, now working. Bit short of players at present in the play money, but they will come.

If you play for fun, then simbapoker is good but also PokerTH is a fine piece of software. I play there quite a bit [Handle: DevilFish]

If you play for cash, I can usually be found on pokerheaven, partypoker or pokerroom. Let me know if you want a game

Partypoker is java right? So in theory it should work natively in linux?

I wouldn't want to clean you out, Devilfish! :lolflag:

However, instructions on how to open the Linux PokerTH Zip file and get the files into my computer would be very much appreciated. I notice it is from SuSE so it might not be that straightfoward for a rank beginner.

Hmmm,

Followed the instructions, tothe letter I think, but alas it hasn't worked for me. I attach a text file of what I did in case there was something I was being silly with.

[Artificial Intelligence]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get-upgrade
sudo apt-get install libboost-thread1.34.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1 /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so

Lets take it whole at once;
cd ~/Desktop/PokerTH-0.6.1
ldd pokerth
post the outcome.

Thanks for that, seems to be working OK now.

Pokerstars works very well in wine. You'll have to read the wine page to get table resize to work. I haven't used it in a while but Full Tilt Poker used to work really well in wine also. I think I had to turn off animations but other then that it worked well. I know they're not native linux apps but still they work well.

http://pokerroom.com works fine if you have java
