Since the Party Poker fall last fall, Poker Stars has come forth as the indisputable leader in absolute quantities of web-based poker players. They’ve the largest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest money games, as well as the fastest filling up sit and go tournaments online. With that comes power – the power to choose your partners, affiliates, and nearer to our point; suitable software.
Long have I been advocating Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re truly the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Lately though, these products have pushed the limits of suitable use, a minimum of in the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been restricted from use on that website. This is unfortunate news, as a decent product, not unlike a few of the acceptable software program authorized by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the biggest poker internet site on the planet thinks it’s too closely connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret adviser working for you, gathering and mining player data that you’ll be able to use against them at a later time. The thing is, you don’t need to be at the table for this to happen. The software (database) is working all of the time for you. For most poker web sites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life as well.
But Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are actually Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These sorts of poker calculators only accumulate details on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you were betting in an actual situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an actual warning I received from Poker Stars whilst running Holdem Pirate:
Upon an assessment of your account, we discover that you might be using an external program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately blocking entry to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and confiscating all monies held within the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".
Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all funds" line? That is what you may do when you are this huge!
The "related applications" is the origin of the issue. The company that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate in fact mine data for these associated programs, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the heart of the problem. In case you occur to play on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have tried to reverse this ruling. I received a polite response from the staff members at Poker Stars, except definitely, it isn’t likely to change. The excellent news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate software checklist, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be accepted by them.
