Since the Party Poker collapse a few years back, Poker Stars has surfaced as the indisputable leader in absolute numbers of on-line poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most lively tables, the largest cash games, plus the fastest filling up sit down and go tournaments on line. With that comes power – the power to select your partners, internet marketers, and closer to our point; appropriate software program.
Long have I been advocating Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they’re actually the exact same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Recently though, these items have pushed the boundaries of suitable use, a minimum of inside the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been forbidden from use on that website. This is sad news, as a decent product, not unlike a few of the acceptable software program allowed by Stars, is now practically grounded because the biggest poker web site on the planet thinks it is too directly related to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret advisor working for you, amassing and digging through player info that you’ll be able to use on them later on. The factor is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to happen. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker internet sites, that is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life as well.
But Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only acquire information on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you had been playing in a live scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is an authentic warning I was sent from Poker Stars whilst running Hold em Pirate:
Upon an assessment of your account, we discover that you’re running an external software program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, such as instantly blocking access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all monies held inside the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".
Hey, did you observe the "appropriating all money" line? That’s what you are able to do whenever you are this big!
The "related applications" is the origin of the problem. The firm that created Hawk and Pirate also generate Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate really mine data for these associated products, whilst appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lies the crux of the difficulty. If you happen to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have tried to reverse this judgment. I got a considerate reply from the personnel at Poker Stars, but seriously, it is not likely to change. The very good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable computer software checklist, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
