Open hands on Mississippi Stud?

I'm reading that some of these casinos opening early (e.g. Cherokee) are playing games such as Mississippi stud with the hands face up on the table (just three-handed, FWIW). How much would this reduce house edge? Seems like you'd benefit from knowing up front, for instance, if you're holding K5, and one or both of your tablemates ALSO have a king, you'll save yourself at least a bet or more by not getting extra bets in bad. Additionally, if a high card hits and pairs your neighbor, you ALSO know that you only have two outs left to pair that particular high card instead of three.
Anyway, I'm interested to know if this math has already been done and available for I go re-inventing the wheel.

Oh man I love Mississippi stud.
I hit a Royal on it...
AQ Diamonds w/ $100 on the ante
$100 to see the 3rd and its the K of Diamonds
$100 to see 4th street and its J of Diamonds
I tell the table hold on a second let me think.... Unfortunately the table was capped with a $20,000 aggregate I knew was going to be way over, but if I hit a flush or a straight I would be better off having $300 on the table for 5th street...
SO bet $300 to see 5th street and its the Ten of Diamonds...
Never has anyone been so upset to hit a Royal Flush...
They quickly passed me 2 racks of $100's for $20,000
If there were no aggregate it would have paid $300,000...
bad beat...
