Something that you could use in the academic realm? Schoonmaker comes close im guessing. Are there any other examples that anyone can think of on poker or gambling in general?

There have been several articles that have been considered scholarly, most notably the work by the University of Alberta group. There are also scholarly works that can be useful to gamblers. Many examples come to mind in sports betting, for example. The bottom line is that there is generally little correspondence between the utility functions of scholarly journals and advantage gamblers. There are certainly some crossover situations, but generally some translation has to occur in order to make scholarly work useful in "real life".

A good example of this is the Kelly Criterion. I've read John Kelly's paper. It won't help a gambler any more than any of the explanations found in the gambling literature.

So, to answer your question, there exist some places where scholarly work and the gambling press overlap. In poker, the best place to see this is the work being done at the University of Alberta. Among the popular poker press, very little of it is suitable for attribution in scholarly works, although, again, the Alberta folks have cited several popular poker books, including those published by 2+2.
