I've covered enough of it in threads here on FTR. My 5,000th post was actually one long game theory clusterfuck. Mathematics of Poker might be an okay place to start if you're looking for a book. I'm not familiar with current poker books, so there might be a better choice.
If you understand the difference between a game theory optimal strategy (perfectly balanced) and an optimal exploitative strategy (playing every hand individually the most +EV way you can in a vacuum), then realize that you should normally play somewhere in between. That's the best way I can explain it.

@ spoony:
What is the most interesting, unexpected, eye-opening, world-view changing thing you learned in the past 10 years?
The first thing that came to mind: With the death penalty, it costs significantly more to execute someone than it does to keep them in prison for life.
