Since the Party Poker collapse last fall, Poker Stars has emerged as the indisputable head in absolute numbers of internet based poker players. They've the largest tournaments, the most lively tables, the largest money games, as well as the fastest filling sit and go tournaments online. With that comes power - the strength to pick your partners, online marketers, and more to our point; acceptable computer software.

Lengthy have I been suggesting Hold em Hawk and Hold em Pirate (they are in fact the exact same) poker calculators as easy to use and visibly satisfying poker calculators. Recently though, these solutions have pushed the limits of suitable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been forbidden from use on that internet site. This is depressing news, as a decent product, not unlike a few of the appropriate software allowed by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the largest poker web site on the planet thinks it's too directly similar to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is like a secret adviser operating for you, gathering and mining player data that you can use on them at a later time. The factor 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 most poker websites, that's over the line of fairness, just as in actual life as well.

But Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk are in fact Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only gather facts on your competitors whenever you are at the table, just like you had been betting in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here's an authentic warning I received from Poker Stars while running Holdem Pirate:

Following an evaluation of your account, we locate that you might be running an external application 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, including immediately blocking entry to the Games to such User, closing such User's account with PokerStars and appropriating all funds held within the relevant Poker Stars "real cash account".

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

The "related applications" is the source of the difficulty. The corporation that designed Hawk and Pirate also make Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. In fact, I believe that Stars suspects Hawk and Pirate truly gather data for these similar programs, whilst looking like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lies the root of the dilemma. If you occur to play on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you might be out of luck, as I have attempted to alter this judgment. I received a polite response from the staff at Poker Stars, but really, it's not likely to change. The good news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars acceptable software program checklist, and it is the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
