Poker Calculator Announcement: Hold’em Pirate and Hold em Hawk Forbidden by Poker Stars

Since the Party Poker collapse last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the undeniable leader in pure quantities of online poker players. They’ve the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest cash games, along with the fastest filling sit down and go tournaments on-line. With that comes strength – the strength to pick your partners, affiliates, and nearer to our point; acceptable computer software.

Lengthy have I been advocating Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they are really the same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Lately though, these items have pushed the limits of suitable use, a minimum of in the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been forbidden from use on that web site. This is unfortunate news, as a respectable product, not unlike several of the acceptable computer software authorized by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the biggest poker web site on the planet thinks it’s too closely related to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret agent working for you, collecting and digging through player facts that you can use on them later on. The thing is, you don’t need to be at the table for this to take place. The software (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker web sites, that’s over the line of justness, just as in real life also.

But Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These varieties of poker calculators only collect data on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you had been betting in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an actual forewarning I got from Poker Stars whilst running Hold em Pirate:

Upon a review of your account, we locate that you might be using an external application identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately blocking access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all funds held in the relevant Poker Stars "real cash account".

Hey, did you observe the "confiscating all money" line? That is what you’ll be able to do when you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the source of the trouble. The organization that designed Hawk and Pirate also generate Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I think that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate truly mine data for these associated products, although appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein sits the core of the trouble. When you take place to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this ruling. I received a well mannered reply from the staff members at Poker Stars, but truly, it’s not likely to change. The good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate computer software checklist, and it is the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
