Since the Party Poker collapse last fall, Poker Stars has come forth as the undeniable leader in pure amounts of online poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest money games, as well as the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments on the web. With that comes power – the power to choose your partners, internet marketers, and closer to our point; suitable software program.
Long have I been advocating Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are actually the exact same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Lately though, these items have pushed the limits of suitable use, a minimum of in the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been forbidden from use on that site. This is sad news, as a reasonable product, not unlike a number of of the suitable software authorized by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the biggest poker internet site on the planet thinks it’s too directly connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret adviser working for you, collecting and digging through player info that it is possible to use against them at a later date. The thing is, you do not need to be at the table for this to take place. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker internet sites, that’s over the line of fairness, just as in real life also.
Except Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only collect data on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you had been playing in a live scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s a real forewarning I was sent from Poker Stars whilst running Hold em Pirate:
Upon an evaluation of your account, we locate that you’re running an external program knownas Poker Sherlock, or its associated programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as immediately blocking entry to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all monies held inside the relevant Poker Stars "real money account".
Hey, did you observe the "confiscating all monies" line? That is what you’ll be able to do when you are this big!
The "related applications" is the origin 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 thinks Hawk and Pirate actually gather data for these similar programs, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the root of the problem. Should you happen to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have tried to alter this judgment. I got a courteous response from the employees at Poker Stars, but truly, it’s not likely to change. The excellent news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars suitable software list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
