Since the Party Poker collapse a few years back, Poker Stars has surfaced as the indisputable leader in absolute amounts of online poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the largest money games, and the quickest filling up sit down and go tournaments on-line. With that comes power – the power to choose your associates, online marketers, and closer to our point; appropriate software.

Lengthy have I been advocating Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re actually the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pushed the boundaries of acceptable use, a minimum of in the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been banned from use on that site. This is sad news, as a decent product, not unlike several of the acceptable computer software permitted by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the biggest poker web site on the planet thinks it is too closely associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret adviser operating for you, accumulating and digging through player facts that it is possible to use against them later on. The thing is, you don’t have to be at the table for this to happen. The software (database) is working all the time for you. For the majority of poker websites, that is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.

Except Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only gather information and facts on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you had been wagering in an actual situation.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s a genuine warning I was sent from Poker Stars while running Holdem Pirate:

Upon an assessment of your account, we come across that you might be running an external application recognizedas Poker Sherlock, or its related software, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as instantly blocking access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all monies held inside the relevant Poker Stars "actual money account".

Hey, did you notice the "appropriating all monies" line? That is what you may do when you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the origin of the difficulty. The organization that designed Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I think that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate truly gather data for these associated products, whilst looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein sits the crux of the dilemma. Should you take place to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have attempted to change this ruling. I got a courteous reply from the staff at Poker Stars, but seriously, it’s not likely to change. The good news though is that Holdem Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate software checklist, and it is the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
