sudo apt-get -y install wine; chmod +x /home/mindy/Downloads/PokerStarsInstall.exe; wine /home/mindy/Downloads/PokerStarsInstall.exe

Will run it.

Appdb states it does run:

But don't resize the window ;)

There are some steps you need to make it nice as well as installing some fonts and modifyng one of the files but it does seem to work.

Can you help with this problem?
