What book to buy?
Hi, for the past few years i haven't really studied the complex math of poker like david sklansky-- i just went on pure strategy and very rough math. I usually play 18 player sit and go tournaments, some online poker tournaments, so mainly im a tournament player. Now that i have perfected a lot of strategy i want to get into really complex game theory. That said, which of david sklansky's books should i buy?

There is nothing by Sklansky (and as far as I know by any other poker author) that really covers what you are looking for. You will need to investigate general game theory books.

Re: What book to buy?
The figures like log2 and log4 were the results of calculating a player's expected value. Therefore, you need to supplement any game theory texts with texts on probability. One of the few game theory books I have found with some reference to poker is "Fun And Games" by Ken Binmore. It doesn't cover Hold 'em explicitly, but a lot of the theoretical insights are useful.
