Poker Calculator Report: Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk Forbidden by Poker Stars

Since the Party Poker fall a few years ago, Poker Stars has come forth as the indisputable head in sheer numbers of web based poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest cash games, and the quickest filling sit and go tournaments on the web. With that comes strength – the strength to select your partners, online marketers, and more to our point; appropriate software.
Lengthy have I been advocating Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are in fact the same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Lately though, these solutions have pressed the boundaries of acceptable use, a minimum of inside the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been restricted from use on that website. This is sad news, as a reasonable product, not unlike a number of of the acceptable software permitted by Stars, is now practically grounded because the largest poker website on the planet thinks it’s too directly associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret advisor working for you, collecting and mining player info that it is possible to use on them down the road. The factor is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to occur. The software program (database) is working all of the time for you. For the majority of poker internet sites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in real life as well.
But Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are actually Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only collect information on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you were betting in an actual scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is a genuine warning I received from Poker Stars although running Holdem Pirate:
Following an evaluation of your account, we come across that you might be running an external program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including 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 money account".
Hey, did you notice the "appropriating all money" line? That is what you are able to do whenever you are this large!
The "related applications" is the source of the dilemma. The business that created Hawk and Pirate also generate Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate really mine data for these related programs, although appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein sits the core of the dilemma. In case you occur to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have attempted to alter this ruling. I got a courteous reply from the personnel at Poker Stars, except truly, it isn’t likely to alter. The excellent news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable software list, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
