Since the Party Poker collapse last fall, Poker Stars has come forth as the indisputable head in absolute amounts of web based poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest money games, as well as the fastest filling up sit and go tournaments on the net. With that comes power – the power to select your partners, internet marketers, and closer to our point; suitable computer software.
Lengthy have I been promoting Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re truly the same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pressed the boundaries of suitable use, at least in the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been prohibited from use on that internet site. This is sad news, as a respectable product, not unlike a few of the appropriate software program permitted by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the biggest poker internet site on the planet thinks it is too directly associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret agent operating for you, accumulating and mining player info that you’ll be able to use on them at a later time. The thing is, you do not need to be at the table for this to happen. The software (database) is working all the time for you. For the majority of poker web sites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in real life also.
But Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are actually Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These sorts of poker calculators only acquire info on your opponents whenever you are at the table, just like you had been betting in an actual situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an actual forewarning I received from Poker Stars although running Holdem Pirate:
Upon a review of your account, we locate that you are using an external application recognizedas Poker Sherlock, or its related software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as immediately preventing access to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all money held inside the relevant Poker Stars "actual money account".
Hey, did you observe the "seizing all funds" line? That’s what it is possible to do when you are this huge!
The "related applications" is the origin of the dilemma. The company that designed Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate truly mine data for these related programs, although appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the crux of the trouble. In case you happen to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have tried to reverse this judgment. I received a polite reply from the employees at Poker Stars, but actually, it isn’t likely to change. The good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars suitable software list, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
