Since the Party Poker fall a few years back, Poker Stars has come forth as the undeniable leader in sheer numbers of web-based poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest money games, and the fastest filling sit down and go tournaments on the web. With that comes strength – the power to choose your associates, internet marketers, and more to our point; appropriate software.

Long have I been suggesting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are truly the same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Recently though, these solutions have pressed the limits of acceptable use, at least inside the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been forbidden from use on that web site. This is depressing news, as a decent product, not unlike a few of the suitable software program allowed by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the largest poker internet site on the planet thinks it is too closely similar to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret agent working for you, accumulating and digging through player data that you may use against them at a later date. The thing is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to occur. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For the majority of poker sites, that is over the line of fairness, just as in real life also.

Except Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are actually Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These varieties of poker calculators only acquire info on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you were wagering in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an authentic alert I received from Poker Stars while running Holdem Pirate:

Following an overview of your account, we uncover that you might be running an external application identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled 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 money held within the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".

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

The "related applications" is the source of the trouble. The firm 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 in fact mine data for these associated programs, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lays the core of the dilemma. Should you occur to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have tried to change this ruling. I received a considerate reply from the personnel at Poker Stars, except truly, it’s not likely to change. The excellent news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars suitable software program checklist, and it is the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
