Hi Shandrax:

I just happen to be reading this book right now. I'm done with the first 100 pages, and while my opinion so far is better than yours because his analysis of some situations is pretty good, I do tend to agree with you.

Also, I feel his DIPO method is essentially worthless. While it's accurate, all it does is add needless calculations that would be very difficult to do at the table for most people. I just like to say something like "I'm getting 7-to-1 on a 5-to-1 shot, therefore I'm playing." DIPO appears to essentially do this, but then it does additional calculation involving good cards and bad cards, which to me is a complete waste.

best wishes,
Mason
