Most of our reviews so far cover poker training courses. This page describes how those are made. Other reviews on the site follow the same principles with the evidence that fits their subject.
What a review is built from
The starting point is the course material: the lessons and the supporting files such as workbooks and hand charts. Every chapter is covered, including the practical and later material rather than only the introduction.
Prices, access routes, refund terms and what is included come from the creator’s own site at the time of writing. The date on each review tells you when that was. Where a claim in the course cannot be checked, we leave it out or say that it is the creator’s claim.
What a review is not built from
We do not invent experience. A review never says that someone bought the course or played with the material for months unless that actually happened. Testimonials and marketing from the creator are reported as what they are, not treated as evidence.
There are no scores or stars. A number would look more precise than the judgement behind it. The verdict is written out, with the reasons.
Where AI comes in
AI helps with the research, the drafting and the checking of our reviews. A person reads the finished review and decides whether it is published. Nothing goes live automatically.
Chip, the assistant on the course directory and on each review page, is also AI. It answers from our published reviews and the checked facts behind them, nothing else. When your situation falls outside what a review covers, it is meant to say so rather than guess. We save questions and answers to help improve our coverage. Please avoid sharing personal details when you use Chip.
Money
At the moment we have no commercial agreement with any course provider. The link to the official course page at the end of a review is a plain link, and we earn nothing when you use it.
Affiliate partnerships are part of our plans, as the About page explains. If a review ever covers a course we earn from, that review will say so.
Corrections
If something in a review is wrong or out of date, tell us through the contact page. We check the point against the source and correct the page where needed. The updated date on the page changes with it.
