The Mathematics of Poker, by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman, is a technical poker strategy book centered on probability, game theory, and quantitative decision making. First published by ConJelCo, it occupies a distinct place in poker literature because it does not primarily teach hand reading, table psychology, or step by step tactics for a particular variant. Instead, it asks what poker decisions look like when they are modeled mathematically and analyzed for equilibrium, risk, and long term expected value. The book uses simplified games, formal notation, and strategic abstractions to isolate problems such as bluffing frequency, value betting, bet sizing, bankroll risk, and heads-up endgame decisions. Its purpose is not to replace practical experience, but to give serious players a framework for understanding why strong strategies work and how unexploitable play can be constructed. It is best read as a rigorous theoretical foundation for advanced poker thinking rather than as a casual instructional manual.
