Default Re: Anyone have a good game theory reference?

Ankeny's book is well written, but, as mentioned, primarily about draw poker. If you are interested in some specific hold 'em problems, it will probably give you the tools you need to solve them. I know it discusses pot limit games of two and three players, but don't remember how much it discusses no limit. Well worth reading.

Epstein's book is everything Mason says it is, but I honestly don't remember the game theory section, and don't have the book handy. But if it's a reference book you are looking for, I assume that this book would serve well.

If you're looking for an introduction to game theory, I recommend The Compleat Strategyst by J. D. Williams. For the general reader, it is one of the most beautifully written books I have read on any subject. But with your background, you might find it too low-level.
