Since the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has surfaced as the undeniable leader in sheer numbers of internet poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most lively tables, the largest cash games, as well as the quickest filling up sit and go tournaments on-line. With that comes power – the strength to select your associates, affiliate marketers, and more to our point; suitable software program.

Lengthy have I been promoting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they’re actually the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Lately though, these solutions have pressed the boundaries of suitable use, at least inside the view of Poker Stars, and consequently have been restricted from use on that internet site. This is depressing news, as a reasonable product, not unlike a few of the acceptable software allowed by Stars, is now practically grounded because the biggest poker website on the planet thinks it is too closely connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret advisor operating for you, accumulating and mining player data that you’ll be able to use against them at a later time. The thing is, you do not need to be at the table for this to happen. The software program (database) is working all of the time for you. For the majority of poker web sites, that is over the line of justness, just as in real life also.

But Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Hold em Indicator is. These varieties of poker calculators only collect facts on your opponents when you are at the table, just like you had been playing in a live situation.

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

Following an overview of your account, we find that you’re using an external software program identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including instantly blocking access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and seizing all funds held in the relevant Poker Stars "real cash account".

Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all monies" line? That is what you can do whenever you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the source of the difficulty. The company that created Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I think that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate truly mine data for these similar products, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lies the crux of the trouble. When you occur 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 well mannered reply from the personnel at Poker Stars, except seriously, it’s not likely to alter. The very 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.
