Since the Party Poker failure last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the undeniable leader in absolute quantities of web based poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the largest cash games, as well as the fastest filling up sit down and go tournaments online. With that comes power - the power to pick your associates, affiliate marketers, and more to our point; appropriate computer software.

Long have I been suggesting Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are actually the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pressed the boundaries of acceptable use, a minimum of inside the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been banned from use on that website. This is unfortunate news, as a respectable product, not unlike a few of the acceptable software authorized by Stars, is now virtually grounded because the largest poker web site on the planet thinks it's too closely associated to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret agent operating for you, gathering and digging through player data that you can use against them later on. The thing is, you don't have to be at the table for this to occur. The software (database) is working all of the time for you. For the majority of poker internet sites, which is over the line of justness, just as in real life as well.

But Holdem Pirate and Holdem Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These kinds of poker calculators only collect information on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you had been wagering in a live situation.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is an authentic warning I was sent from Poker Stars although running Holdem Pirate:

Upon an assessment of your account, we uncover that you might be using an external application knownas Poker Sherlock, or its related programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Holdem Pirate......PokerStars shall be permitted to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately blocking entry to the Games to such User, closing such User's account with PokerStars and confiscating all funds held in the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".

Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all money" line? That is what it is possible to do whenever you are this big!

The "related applications" is the origin of the difficulty. The firm that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate actually gather data for these similar products, while looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lays the root of the trouble. In case you take place to wager on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this ruling. I received a considerate reply from the personnel at Poker Stars, except truly, it is not likely to alter. The very good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable computer software checklist, and it's the only empirical calculator to be accepted by them.
