Since the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in sheer quantities of internet based poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest money games, and also the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments on the net. With that comes strength – the strength to choose your associates, affiliates, and closer to our point; acceptable software.
Lengthy have I been suggesting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re in fact the same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Recently though, these items have pressed the boundaries of suitable use, at least inside the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been prohibited from use on that website. This is sad news, as a respectable product, not unlike a few of the appropriate software program authorized by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the largest poker site on the planet thinks it is too closely associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret agent operating for you, accumulating and digging through player information that you may use against them at a later time. The thing is, you do not need to be at the table for this to take place. The computer software (database) is working all of the time for you. For the majority of poker sites, that’s over the line of justness, just as in real life also.
But Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These sorts of poker calculators only acquire info on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you had been betting in an actual scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is a genuine warning I received from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:
Upon a review of your account, we discover that you might be using an external software program recognizedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted 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 appropriating all monies held in the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".
Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all money" line? That’s what you’ll be able to do when you are this massive!
The "related applications" is the source of the issue. The firm that created Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I think that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate truly gather data for these associated products, although appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lies the heart of the difficulty. In case you take place to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have attempted to change this ruling. I received a polite reply from the staff at Poker Stars, but actually, it’s not likely to alter. The very good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable software program list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be accepted by them.
