Over the course of his career, he progressed from independent hand analysis to serving as a technical specialist for two of the largest CIS poker teams, where he provided full technical support and analytical infrastructure for professional players over a three-year period.
Technical Expertise & Development
Konstantin's core specialization is advanced data analysis and automation of poker decision-making processes. He is the creator of the commercially successful Exploit HUD product line — statistical HUD packages for Hand2Note used by more than 200 players.

As a Hand2Note expert, Konstantin handles complex technical and analytical tasks, including:
- Developing custom statistics tailored to specific and non-standard analytical needs
- Building advanced Range Research filters and conducting deep database analysis to identify optimal strategic adjustments
- Designing intuitive and information-dense HUDs (including positional and dynamic layouts) with multi-level popups for fast in-game access
- Creating visual pattern indicators (badges) to simplify large data interpretation
In addition to database-driven analysis, Konstantin works with modern GTO solvers such as PioSOLVER, GTO+, and HRC to analyze complex spots and validate strategic hypotheses.
