Reading a lot of the posts here and in the poker forums has piqued my interest in game theory and the mathematics behind it. I'm wondering if anyone could recccomend a good introductory game theory book for non-mathematicians. I am a PhD student in the Biological Sciences so I have a decent background in statistics and did take calculus a long time ago so I'm not totally clueless about probability. Mainly I'm looking for something that will satisfy my curiousity, give me some interesting things to think about and maybe help improve my poker game.

I don't know about a book, but I took a previous version of this course and it was decent. Open CourseWare is awesome:
