Default Thx for feedback

As I indicated, it has been a long time since I studied formal mathematics, so I am essentially starting from scratch. There are a lot of branches of math, and even when I was 20 stats was not my favorite one, and while related, I have never studied game theory as such.

I think I will order Prisoner's Dilemma, as I know what it is and want to read it anyway, and the more basic book mentioned, The Compleat Strategyst. Meanwhile I will study the link to the [0,1] series by Chen & Ankenman, and buy their book when it comes out. I suspect I am a ways from being able to handle Epstein's book.

My reason for this line of study is that I play HU poker as HU tournaments, MTT final table, last 2 in SNGs, and simply as the last 2 in a hand at or after the flop. I think speaking game theory fluently would improve my HU play.

Thank you to all who responded. I appreciate the input.
