1. Purpose
Hand2Note Guide is an educational poker resource. Our mission is to provide poker players with clear, practical, and reliable information about poker software: HUDs, solvers, training apps, and other modern poker tools. We also publish simple and accessible guides on poker rules and basic playing techniques.
2. Content Principles
All our content is based on first-hand use of poker software, practical poker experience, and continuous learning. Before publication, every guide is tested and reviewed to ensure accuracy, clarity, and independence. We focus on explaining complex tools and theory concepts in a simple way, making them accessible and useful for players of all levels. We also take into account feedback from our readers and professional players, updating and improving our guides when new insights or corrections are needed.
3. Updates
We review and update our guides regularly to reflect new versions of software and changes in the poker industry. Where relevant, we note the date of the last update directly on the page.
4. Authors and Expertise
Our core team includes Nick Korolev — professional No-Limit Holdem player, author of the official Hand2Note 3 Manual and long-time member of poker software development teams; Roman Belousov — professional 6+ Holdem player, HUD expert, and creator of the Cosmos HUD product line; and Konstantin Abbakumov — professional player, solver expert and creator of Exploit HUD. Together they bring years of practical poker and software expertise, not only with Hand2Note but also with solvers, training apps, and other poker tools.
We also collaborate with other respected players, authors, and coaches. Being in close contact with software developers gives us a deep understanding of these tools and allows us to explain them clearly.
5. Independence and Affiliate Links
We sometimes include affiliate links to poker software and services such as Hand2Note, GTO Wizard, and Freebetrange. This means we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you, if you choose to use these links. However, affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial decisions. We only recommend tools that we have tested and genuinely believe are valuable for players.
6. Our Commitment
Our commitment is to provide objective, transparent, and useful educational content for the global poker community. We aim to support players of all levels in both mastering the tools and improving their overall game.
