Since the Party Poker failure a few years back, Poker Stars has surfaced as the undeniable head in pure numbers of internet poker players. They’ve the biggest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest cash games, plus the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments on the net. With that comes power – the power to choose your associates, affiliate marketers, and closer to our point; suitable software.

Long have I been advocating Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they are in fact the exact same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pressed the boundaries of acceptable use, a minimum of inside the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been prohibited from use on that site. This is depressing news, as a reasonable product, not unlike a few of the suitable software program authorized by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the largest poker web site on the planet thinks it’s too closely connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret advisor working for you, gathering and digging through player information that you can use against them down the road. The factor is, you do not have to be at the table for this to occur. The computer software (database) is working all of the time for you. For most poker websites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.

Except Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These sorts of poker calculators only acquire facts on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you had been wagering in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is an authentic forewarning I got from Poker Stars whilst running Holdem Pirate:

Upon an evaluation of your account, we come across that you might be running an external program knownas Poker Sherlock, or its associated applications, 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, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all funds held in the relevant Poker Stars "real cash account".

Hey, did you observe the "appropriating all money" line? That’s what you are able to do whenever you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the source of the issue. The business that created Hawk and Pirate also generate Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I think that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate truly mine data for these associated programs, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein sits the root of the dilemma. In case 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 well mannered reply from the staff at Poker Stars, but actually, it’s not likely to alter. The excellent 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 accepted by them.
