Is Game Theory the HU Cash nirvana?

[GaF]

I seem to be obsessing about Game Theory at the moment - wasn't a deliberate choice, I just kind of stumbled into it, and now seem to be coming across it everywhere I look!! Not got far yet, but the impression I get is that what I manage to learn from it could be exceedingly significant to my game. First of all, I came across this: http://oyc.yale.edu/economics/econ-159 I started watching the first lecture and was really interested by it. I've watched about 1.5 lectures in total so far, but suspect I wont get back to it (because of the other option listed below). Does that lecturer REALLY remind anyone else of Johnny Lee Miller as Sherlock in Elementary? Then I received the new book by Will Tipton (Expert Heads Up No Limit Hold'em) which seems excellent so far (I'm half way through chapter 2) and has a huge emphasis on Game Theory. http://www.dandbpoker.com/product/expert-heads-up-no-limit-holdem-volume-1 Finally I've signed up for this (its free!) https://www.coursera.org/course/gametheory which starts January 7th (30-42 hour course over 6 weeks). Anyone else already been down this route of expanding their poker knowledge? Does understanding Game Theory pay the dividends I suspect/hope it will and make it worth the time investment?

Re: Is Game Theory the HU Cash nirvana? In some ways I wish I had the time and dedication to look at things like this. I am sure it would help your poker as long as your willing to learn.
