Poker Calculator Report: Holdem Pirate and Hold em Hawk Prohibited by Poker Stars
Long have I been suggesting Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they're really the exact same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly attractive poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pressed the boundaries of suitable use, at least in the view of Poker Stars, and hence have been banned from use on that internet site. This is depressing news, as a reasonable product, not unlike several of the acceptable software program allowed by Stars, is now practically grounded because the largest poker web site on the planet thinks it's too directly connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.
An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret agent working for you, accumulating and digging through player data that you can use against them down the line. The factor is, you don't need to be at the table for this to take place. The software program (database) is working all the time for you. For most poker websites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life also.
Except Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the exact same as Holdem Indicator is. These varieties of poker calculators only acquire facts on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you were betting in a live scenario.
So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here is an actual forewarning I was sent from Poker Stars whilst running Hold em Pirate:
Upon an assessment of your account, we come across that you're using an external application knownas Poker Sherlock, or its associated programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate......PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, such as instantly blocking access to the Games to such User, closing such User's account with PokerStars and seizing all money held inside the relevant Poker Stars "actual cash account".
Hey, did you notice the "confiscating all funds" line? That's what you can do when you are this large!
The "related applications" is the origin of the dilemma. 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 related products, whilst appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.
So therein lays the core of the difficulty. Should you happen to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you are out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this judgment. I received a courteous reply from the employees at Poker Stars, except seriously, it is not likely to alter. The great news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable software list, and it's the only empirical calculator to be authorized by them.
