Since the Party Poker collapse last fall, Poker Stars has surfaced as the indisputable head in absolute amounts of web-based poker players. They’ve the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the largest cash games, and the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments on the web. With that comes strength – the power to choose your partners, online marketers, and more to our point; suitable computer software.
Long have I been recommending Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are actually the exact same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pushed the limits of suitable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been forbidden from use on that web site. This is unfortunate news, as a reasonable product, not unlike several of the suitable software permitted by Stars, is now practically grounded because the biggest poker web site on the planet thinks it is too closely related to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret advisor operating for you, gathering and digging through player data that you are able to use on them later on. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to take place. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker websites, that’s over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.
But Holdem Pirate and Hold em Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only collect details on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you had been wagering in an actual situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s a real warning I got from Poker Stars while running Holdem Pirate:
Upon an overview of your account, we uncover that you might be running an external application recognizedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including instantly preventing access to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all funds held in the relevant Poker Stars "real 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 source of the problem. The company that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate really gather data for these associated products, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the root of the trouble. If you take place to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have attempted to alter this ruling. I got a considerate response from the personnel at Poker Stars, but genuinely, it is not likely to change. The very good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars suitable computer software list, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
