Ah yes, I understand completely. When the decision to be analyzed is earlier at the table, it's a problem. In the IP situation, my code allows me to mark seats one, two, and three as "done", so they don't have any strategy decisions to make. If you have to optimally play through 5 players, the number of combinations rises exponentially. That is one of the reasons I haven't made a version of my code available. It's far too easy for a user to plug in some values and click Calculate only to find that the process wouldn't finish this century. A user really has to understand the limitations before they can know what to work around.
