Here is a 3-part lecture that covers intro to game theory, given by Prof Jeff Shamma, my former PhD thesis adviser. The application isn't poker, but nevertheless I think it provides value for those who want to understand the basics. It's a bit technical, so it would help if you've at least had undergrad linear algebra. Mods, if you don't think this is appropriate for the forum, feel free to move or delete.

(Skip to 9:20 for start of actual presentation. Discussion of game theory starts at 21:10.)

Not primarily, but a part of my thesis analyzes a certain type of optimal control problem, which is done in a game-theoretical setting.

Thanks for the video bluesbassman. In addition there is an entire semester of intro game theory available online for free from the Open Yale Course program, which I am doing at a slow pace.
