King Yao "Weighing the Odds"

May be unfair but 100 or so pages in there's no question I'm disappointed; and DIPO seems like an imprecise (reliance on implieds), unneccesarily complicated and inadequate way of getting around memorizing a handful of hand odds. Without some equity capabilities DIPO seems entirely useless. Give King Yao credit for being inventive; but the "new" way IMO isn't better or simpler or easier - so I don't see any merit beyond its uniqueness.

I don't care for it either, but one nice thing about DIPO is that it will work for games other than holdem. Rather than learn new tables for Omaha, 2-7 etc, you could use DIPO. And unless stud players have some sort of other trick for calculating odds when the number of known cards changes drastically from hand to hand, DIPO seems like it would be great for stud.

I'm going to revisit DIPO when I branch out into other games.
