Since the Party Poker collapse last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in absolute quantities of net poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the largest money games, plus the fastest filling up sit and go tournaments on-line. With that comes strength – the strength to choose your associates, affiliates, and nearer to our point; suitable computer software.

Lengthy have I been recommending Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they are in fact the exact same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pushed the limits of acceptable use, at least in the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been restricted from use on that website. This is depressing news, as a good product, not unlike some of the suitable software program permitted by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the biggest poker site on the planet thinks it is too directly associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret advisor operating for you, amassing and mining player information that you can use against them at a later date. The thing is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to occur. The computer software (database) is working all the time for you. For the majority of poker websites, that is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.

But Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only gather details on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you had been playing in a live situation.

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

Following an evaluation of your account, we come across that you are running an external program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as immediately preventing entry to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and appropriating all monies held inside the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".

Hey, did you notice the "seizing all money" line? That is what it is possible to do when you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the origin of the problem. The firm that created Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate in fact gather data for these related programs, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lies the core of the problem. When you take place to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to alter this judgment. I received a polite reply from the employees at Poker Stars, except truly, it isn’t likely to change. The good news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable computer software list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be accepted by them.
