Presh, this would be the perfect book for you: The Mathematics of Poker. “The intent of this book is to provide an introduction to quantitative techniques as applied to poker and to a branch of mathematics that is particularly applicable to poker, game theory.”

Phil Gordon’s books are probably some of the most entertaining surface-level discussions of poker ideas/strategy. Check out his Little Green Book and Little Black Book.
