Poker Calculator Report: Hold em Pirate … Hold em Hawk Banned by Poker Stars

Since the Party Poker collapse a few years ago, Poker Stars has come forth as the indisputable leader in pure quantities of internet poker players. They’ve the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the biggest money games, plus the quickest filling sit and go tournaments on-line. With that comes strength – the strength to select your associates, affiliates, and more to our point; acceptable software.
Long have I been suggesting Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they’re actually the exact same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly pleasing poker calculators. Recently though, these items have pushed the boundaries of acceptable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been forbidden from use on that web site. This is unfortunate news, as a decent product, not unlike a few of the suitable software program permitted by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the biggest poker web site on the planet thinks it’s too closely associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is just like a secret adviser working for you, amassing and mining player information and facts that you can use on them later on. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to occur. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker internet sites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.
Except Holdem Pirate and Hold em Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These sorts of poker calculators only accumulate information on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you were wagering in a live scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an authentic forewarning I was sent from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:
Upon an evaluation of your account, we discover that you might be running an external application identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including instantly blocking entry to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all monies held in the relevant Poker Stars "actual money account".
Hey, did you notice the "seizing all monies" line? That’s what you can do when you are this massive!
The "related applications" is the origin of the issue. The company that created Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I believe that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate in fact mine data for these related programs, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lies the crux of the difficulty. In case you take place to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to change this judgment. I received a polite reply from the staff members at Poker Stars, but actually, it is not likely to alter. The excellent news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate computer software checklist, and it is the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
