Default Re: Game Theory Books

When I first read Theory Of Poker by Sklansky, I was fascinated with the relatively small part of the book that dealt with game theory. I immediately was on a mission to find any books that dealt with game theory AND poker. I soon found out that there just weren't many that combined the two and the few I found on just game theory were way over my head. I found one book titled "Poker Strategy Winning With Game Theory" by Nesmith C. Ankeny and although excellent, dealt primarily with draw poker. In my opinion, there are so many other concepts that demand study to become great at poker before worrying about game theory. I think alot of this has to do with the fact that game theory assumes your opponents are playing correctly, and depending on what limits you play most do not.
