Poker Calculator Report: Hold em Pirate … Hold em Hawk Barred by Poker Stars

Since the Party Poker fall a few years back, Poker Stars has surfaced as the indisputable head in pure quantities of net poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the largest cash games, plus the fastest filling sit down and go tournaments on-line. With that comes power – the power to pick your partners, internet marketers, and closer to our point; appropriate software.

Lengthy have I been promoting Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they are truly the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Lately though, these items have pressed the boundaries of acceptable use, at least inside the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been forbidden from use on that website. This is depressing news, as a decent product, not unlike a number of of the acceptable computer software permitted by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the largest poker web site on the planet thinks it is too directly associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret advisor working for you, collecting and digging through player information that you may use on them at a later date. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to take place. The software program (database) is working all of the time for you. For the majority of poker websites, that is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.

Except Holdem Pirate and Hold em Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only gather facts on your opponents whenever you are at the table, just like you were betting in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s a genuine warning I received from Poker Stars although running Holdem Pirate:

Following an overview of your account, we uncover that you’re using an external program knownas Poker Sherlock, or its related applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including instantly preventing entry to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all funds held in the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".

Hey, did you notice the "seizing all money" line? That’s what you’ll be able to do when you are this big!

The "related applications" is the origin of the issue. The business that created Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate truly gather data for these related programs, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lies the heart of the issue. Should you take place to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this judgment. I received a polite reply from the personnel at Poker Stars, except seriously, it is not likely to alter. The great news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable software list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
