Poker Calculator Announcement: Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk Barred by Poker Stars
Posted in Poker on 09/05/2013 01:21 pm by IzaiahSince the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in absolute amounts of internet poker players. They have the biggest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest cash games, along with the fastest filling sit down and go tournaments on-line. With that comes strength – the power to choose your associates, web marketers, and closer to our point; appropriate computer software.
Long have I been recommending Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are in fact the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Lately though, these solutions have pressed the boundaries of acceptable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been prohibited from use on that web site. This is unfortunate news, as a good product, not unlike a number of of the suitable software allowed by Stars, is now practically grounded because the largest poker website on the planet thinks it’s too closely related to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret adviser operating for you, accumulating and mining player information that you may use on them at a later date. The thing is, you do not have to be at the table for this to occur. The software (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 as well.
Except Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are truly Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only acquire details on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you were wagering in an actual situation.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s a real warning I got from Poker Stars while running Hold em Pirate:
Following an assessment of your account, we locate that you might be using an external software program recognizedas Poker Sherlock, or its associated applications, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Holdem 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 confiscating all money held within the relevant Poker Stars "real money account".
Hey, did you observe the "seizing all funds" line? That’s what you can do whenever you are this large!
The "related applications" is the source of the trouble. The firm that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I think that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate really gather data for these related programs, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the heart of the dilemma. If you occur to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have tried to alter this ruling. I received a considerate response from the staff members at Poker Stars, but actually, it’s not likely to change. The excellent news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate computer software checklist, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
