There are not many rooms online that allow Mac players to sit at their poker tables. The biggest rooms, like Party and PokerStars may be working on a way to bring macsters into the room, but I haven't seen anything announced yet.
In the meantime, there is one room that offers not only a place for Mac users at their tables, but they do it via a downloadable program. That's different than having a Flash option. A real program that sits on your computer can offer a lot more in the line of bells and whistles, and puts Mac users on a par with their PC counterparts.
Full Tilt is that poker room.
And, if you're looking for poker, Full Tilt isn't just the room that lets mac users play too. They are actually one of the top rooms online. They have a line up of poker pros supporting the room, and you can see them at the tables of Full Tilt playing everything from the low limit games to the highest of stakes. So, you actually have a chance to watch them in action, or maybe even sit down and play against them.
Also, the room has a wide selection of games. Of course there are holdem tables going non-stop, but there are also tables dealing Omaha, Stud, and Razz. now, with the addition of the prestigious $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event at the Word Series of Poker, you can expect more players to flock to these other games.
With the explosion of poker, it's nice that at least one major poker room has opened it's doors to mac users. You can visit Full Tilt, register, and pass some time at the fun play tables, or take a run at becoming an online pro, it's up to you.
Someone has a video review of Full Tilt Poker posted up on Youtube, in case you want more info on the poker room.
