Since the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the undeniable head in sheer quantities of web based poker players. They’ve the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest cash games, and the quickest filling sit down and go tournaments on-line. With that comes power – the strength to pick your partners, affiliates, and closer to our point; acceptable computer software.
Long have I been suggesting Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they are in fact the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly attractive poker calculators. Lately though, these products have pushed the limits of acceptable use, a minimum of within the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been restricted from use on that site. This is depressing news, as a respectable product, not unlike a few of the suitable software permitted by Stars, is now practically grounded because the biggest poker site on the planet thinks it is too directly related to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret advisor working for you, collecting and mining player information that you may use on them at a later date. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to happen. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker sites, which is over the line of justness, just as in real life as well.
But Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These varieties of poker calculators only acquire info on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you were betting in a live situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an authentic warning I was sent from Poker Stars although running Hold em Pirate:
Upon an assessment of your account, we come across that you’re using an external program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately preventing access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and appropriating all money held within the relevant Poker Stars "real cash account".
Hey, did you notice the "seizing all funds" line? That is what you may do when you are this big!
The "related applications" is the source of the difficulty. The business that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I think that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate truly mine data for these similar products, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the root of the issue. In the event you take place to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have attempted to alter this ruling. I got a courteous response from the staff at Poker Stars, except definitely, it isn’t likely to alter. The excellent news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate computer software list, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be accepted by them.
