I dont remember the DIPO formula exactly, but it seems like it wouldnt adapt well to stud since the number of known and unknown cards changes by street as people fold out.

I don't remember it exactly either, but my recolection is that this would be accounted for in the DIPO formula since it accounts for both the good and bad cards. Using both numbers in the equation is equivalent to using the current number of unknown cards since good+bad=total_unseen.

Because of this, it seems like it would be awesome for stud.

But then again... I know jack about stud and so there may be other tricks stud players use to perform these kind of calculations quickly. (I played a limit hi-lo stud tourney once on accident though when I thought I was registering for a limit holdem tourney [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])
