Since the Party Poker failure a few years back, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in absolute amounts of internet poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest money games, as well as the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments on the net. With that comes strength – the strength to choose your associates, affiliate marketers, and more to our point; suitable software.
Lengthy have I been promoting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re really the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pressed the limits of suitable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been prohibited from use on that site. This is sad news, as a decent product, not unlike a number of of the acceptable computer software permitted by Stars, is now practically grounded because the largest poker site on the planet thinks it’s too closely connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret agent operating for you, collecting and mining player data 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 software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker sites, that is over the line of justness, just as in actual life as well.
Except Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These varieties of poker calculators only collect facts on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you were wagering in an actual scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is a genuine alert I got from Poker Stars while running Holdem Pirate:
Following an evaluation of your account, we discover that you’re using an external program recognizedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including instantly blocking entry to the Games to such User, closing such User’s account with PokerStars and confiscating all monies held inside the relevant Poker Stars "real money account".
Hey, did you notice the "appropriating all funds" line? That is what you’ll be able to do whenever you are this massive!
The "related applications" is the source of the dilemma. The company that created Hawk and Pirate also generate Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate in fact gather data for these related products, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lies the root of the dilemma. When you happen to play on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to change this ruling. I got a courteous reply from the employees at Poker Stars, but seriously, it is not likely to alter. The excellent news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable software program list, and it is the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
