Since the Party Poker fall last fall, Poker Stars has come forth as the indisputable leader in absolute amounts of internet poker players. They’ve the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the largest cash games, and also the quickest filling sit down and go tournaments online. With that comes strength – the strength to choose your partners, web marketers, and nearer to our point; appropriate software.

Long have I been promoting Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they’re truly the exact same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Lately though, these solutions have pushed the boundaries of suitable use, a minimum of within the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been restricted from use on that website. This is unfortunate news, as a decent product, not unlike a number of of the appropriate software permitted by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the largest poker website on the planet thinks it is too directly similar to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret agent working for you, amassing and mining player info that you are able to use against them down the line. The factor is, you do not need to be at the table for this to happen. The computer software (database) is working all the time for you. For the majority of poker sites, that is over the line of justness, just as in real life also.

Except Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are actually Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only collect facts on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you were playing in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an actual warning I got from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:

Following an overview of your account, we come across that you might be using an external program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted 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 monies held in the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".

Hey, did you observe the "confiscating all monies" line? That is what you’ll be able to do when you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the source of the difficulty. The organization 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 mine data for these associated products, whilst appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lies the root of the problem. In case you occur to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have tried to change this ruling. I received a courteous response from the personnel at Poker Stars, except truly, it isn’t likely to alter. The very good news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars suitable software program list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
