Poker Calculator Announcement: Hold’em Pirate and Hold em Hawk Prohibited by Poker Stars
Since the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in sheer numbers of internet based poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest cash games, and also the quickest filling sit and go tournaments on the net. With that comes power – the power to choose your partners, online marketers, and more to our point; appropriate software.
Long have I been suggesting Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are really the exact same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Recently though, these items have pushed the limits of acceptable use, a minimum of within the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been forbidden from use on that website. This is unfortunate news, as a reasonable product, not unlike a few of the suitable computer software authorized by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the largest poker website on the planet thinks it’s too closely similar to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret agent operating for you, gathering and digging through player facts that you’ll be able to use against them later on. 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 internet sites, that is over the line of justness, just as in real life also.
Except Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are actually Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These sorts of poker calculators only acquire data on your opponents whenever you are at the table, just like you were playing in a live situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an actual forewarning I received from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:
Following an overview of your account, we discover that you’re running an external application identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, such as immediately preventing entry to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all money held within the relevant Poker Stars "real cash account".
Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all funds" line? That is what you may do when you are this huge!
The "related applications" is the origin of the dilemma. The business that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate really mine data for these associated programs, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the heart of the dilemma. In the event you happen to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this ruling. I received a courteous response from the staff at Poker Stars, except truly, it isn’t likely to change. The very good news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars suitable software list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
