Default Re: The Mathematics of Poker

I finished going through it today.

Of great philosophy books, it's often said that, "the smarter you get, the smarter it gets." In economics, I get that feel reading someone like Thomas Schelling. With each reading, you gain a richer understanding of his genius. The Mathematics of Poker is clearly a work of genius. It's the best poker book ever published. It doesn't merely build on Sklansky and the like --- we've leaped forward a few years with this work.

Congrats to Jerrod and Bill for this outstanding book.

I have a math and econ background (i've taken twelve phd-level econ courses, including two in game theory) and I missed a lot of key stuff on the first reading. I plan to spend a lot of time with this book.
