Since the Party Poker failure a few years back, Poker Stars has surfaced as the undeniable leader in sheer quantities of online poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest money games, plus the quickest filling up sit and go tournaments on the web. With that comes strength – the power to choose your partners, affiliates, and more to our point; appropriate computer software.
Lengthy have I been suggesting Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they’re in fact the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Lately though, these solutions have pressed the limits of acceptable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been banned from use on that web site. This is depressing news, as a respectable product, not unlike some of the appropriate software permitted by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the largest poker internet site on the planet thinks it’s too closely similar to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret advisor operating for you, gathering and digging through player information that you can use on them later on. The factor is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to occur. The software (database) is working all of the time for you. For most poker websites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in real life as well.
But Holdem Pirate and Hold em Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only collect facts 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’s a real alert I received from Poker Stars although running Holdem Pirate:
Upon an overview of your account, we find that you’re using an external software program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately preventing entry to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all monies held in the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".
Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all monies" line? That is what you are able to do whenever you are this large!
The "related applications" is the source of the difficulty. The organization that designed Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate really mine data for these related products, although looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lies the core of the problem. Should you occur to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have tried to reverse this ruling. I got a well mannered reply from the staff at Poker Stars, but genuinely, it isn’t likely to alter. The great news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate software checklist, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
