Since the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has come forth as the undeniable leader in absolute numbers of online poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest money games, along with the quickest filling up sit and go tournaments on the web. With that comes strength – the power to select your partners, internet marketers, and closer to our point; acceptable computer software.

Lengthy have I been promoting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are truly the same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Lately though, these items have pushed the limits of acceptable use, a minimum of in the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been banned from use on that internet site. This is unfortunate news, as a decent product, not unlike some of the suitable computer software authorized by Stars, is now practically grounded because the largest poker internet site on the planet thinks it is too directly connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret adviser working for you, amassing and digging through player info that it is possible to use against them later on. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to occur. The software (database) is working all the time for you. For the majority of poker internet sites, that is over the line of justness, just as in actual life also.

But Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only gather details 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 is a genuine forewarning I received from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:

Upon an assessment of your account, we find that you are running an external software program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as instantly preventing entry to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and confiscating all money held within the relevant Poker Stars "real money account".

Hey, did you observe the "seizing all money" line? That’s what you can do when you are this large!

The "related applications" is the source of the dilemma. The corporation that created Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate actually mine data for these related programs, whilst looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein sits the crux of the trouble. If you occur to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this judgment. I got a well mannered response from the staff at Poker Stars, but definitely, it is not likely to alter. The excellent news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate software checklist, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
