Default The Mathematics of Poker ...

Anyone own or have any reviews on this book? I just ordered it on Amazon, and supposedly, while analytical throughout, it does a pretty damn good job of explaining things like game theory and probability to readers who might not have a PhD in statistics. There's a great thread about it on 2+2 (the other, bigger-but-not-nearly-as-cool-as-this, forum).

It's brand new, and by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman.

I'd be especially interested to hear what MathBabe has to say (if you've picked it up and read it, of course). I should have my copy in a week or so. I look forward to reading it.
