Since the Party Poker fall a few years ago, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in sheer amounts of on-line poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the largest money games, plus the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments online. With that comes strength – the strength to select your partners, web marketers, and more to our point; suitable software.
Lengthy have I been promoting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are really the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pushed the boundaries of acceptable use, at least in the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been restricted from use on that web site. This is depressing news, as a respectable product, not unlike a number of of the acceptable software authorized by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the largest poker website on the planet thinks it is too closely related to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret adviser working for you, accumulating and mining player details that it is possible to use against them at a later date. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to happen. The software (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker sites, that is over the line of fairness, just as in real life as well.
But Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only acquire details on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you had been wagering in an actual situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an actual alert I was sent from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:
Following an overview of your account, we discover that you are using an external software program knownas Poker Sherlock, or its associated programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, such as instantly preventing access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all monies held inside the relevant Poker Stars "actual money account".
Hey, did you notice the "appropriating all funds" line? That is what it is possible to do whenever you are this large!
The "related applications" is the origin of the problem. The corporation that designed Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I think that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate really gather data for these similar products, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lies the core of the dilemma. In case you occur to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to change this judgment. I received a considerate response from the employees at Poker Stars, but really, it isn’t likely to change. The excellent news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate software list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be accepted by them.
