I went to Pacific Poker yesterday and it took me to a Mac-specific page, so I'd give that a try.
EDIT: I primarily play at QOGS.com. I finished ninth in the $30 freeroll last night after a guy KO'ed my piar of kings when he hit an ace on the river. Not that I'm still bitter about it.

Ehhh, I wouldn't bother with Pacific Poker's "Mac-specific" java client. It's just awful - slow, ugly, you name it.
I play at Poker Room, which has a beautiful java-based client for Mac users. They also have plenty of 1st deposit/reload bonuses.
Cardplayer magazine mentioned that Full Tilt is beta testing an actual OS X application, rather than web based java application. | Santa Sangre

Reposted on: 29.12.12 1757.34 | Full Tilt just went Apple compatible to the best of my knowledge ...
I play on a variety of sites.
PokerRoom.com as 51366 ... I'm often found on the $0.50/$1.00 Stud Hi/Lo tables, or mulling around in a non Hold 'Em tournament for the most part. Hold 'Em is starting to lure me to insanity.
UltimateBet.com as chriscfgb ... When I feel like playing in the 8:40pm Omaha Hi/Lo Limit tourney. I've played in it about 15 times, won the whole thing once, and second another time, cashing about 10 out of those 15 times total. I haven't played in awhile, often because I'm catching up on sleep at that time, or I've forgotten. I also enjoy the fact that they have Deuce to Seven lowball.
PokerStars.com as chriscfgb ... They have an amazing $20 180 person sit and go that runs just about every 15 minutes. Rare that I turn up here, but every once in awhile.
Other sites I may make occassional appearances include any of the Prima sites (when the local boys are holding one of their online tourneys), Doyle's Room (when I feel like losing my mind playing Badugi), Full Tilt (but I hate the layout), and Party Poker (yuck, not anymore, I dropped about $500 there in a span of about 3 days at one point ... too many donkeys)......
95% of the time though, it's all PokerRoom all the time ... Great layout, great games, lots of money to be made, I have no complaints. | RecklessEric

Reposted on: 30.12.12 1034.45 | I started out at Partypoker.net, then a poker messageboard got me recently into weekly or bi-weekly private freeroll tournaments at different poker websites. I actually placed 4'th out of 19 in the first freeroll, only one spot out of the "money." Doing this got me to poker.com and absolutepoker.com, so I'm Mystery_Matt at both places.
Interesting to me was the fact that friends really pimped Absolute Poker, but I found that Poker.com had a much better set up and has freerolls every 3 hours or so where a novice like me can try my luck out without using real money. I think that I will stick with poker.com when I want to just play at one place. | Bullitt
