Since the Party Poker fall a few years back, Poker Stars has surfaced as the undeniable head in pure amounts of internet based poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest cash games, and the fastest filling sit down and go tournaments on the net. With that comes strength – the strength to choose your partners, affiliate marketers, and nearer to our point; appropriate computer software.

Long have I been promoting Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re actually the exact same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Lately though, these solutions have pushed the boundaries of acceptable use, at least in the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been prohibited from use on that web site. This is sad news, as a reasonable product, not unlike some of the acceptable computer software authorized by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the largest poker site on the planet thinks it is too directly associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret advisor working for you, collecting and mining player data that you’ll be able to use against them at a later date. The factor is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to occur. The computer software (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker websites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.

But Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only gather info on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you had been playing in an actual situation.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is an actual forewarning I was sent from Poker Stars although running Holdem Pirate:

Following an overview of your account, we discover that you are using an external program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as immediately blocking access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and confiscating all funds held within the relevant Poker Stars "real money account".

Hey, did you observe the "confiscating all monies" line? That’s what you can do whenever you are this large!

The "related applications" is the origin of the dilemma. The company that created Hawk and Pirate also generate Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I think that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate actually gather data for these similar products, although looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein sits the root of the problem. When you take place to play on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have tried to reverse this ruling. I got a polite response from the staff members at Poker Stars, except seriously, it’s not likely to alter. The very good news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable computer software checklist, and it is the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
