<p>I am interested in studying behavioral game theory, particularly in incomplete information games. However, I am having trouble finding a current &quot;textbook&quot; like source to learn from. I've been reading over Colin Camerer's book <em>Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction</em>, however, I was curious whether there was something more recent/updated (as it's from 2003, if I recall correctly). I've found various articles on JSTOR and similar databases, but it hasn't been as fruitful an endeavor as I had hoped. Any recent text suggestions/places to look would be sincerely appreciated. (If the text I brought up is considered the &quot;gold standard&quot; for the field, pardon my ignorance; I've only recently started looking into the topic.)</p>

Thanks for the comment. I'm certainly more interested in the theory side of things. In particular, I am hoping to eventually apply what I learn to research various card games (most interested in No Limit Hold'em and PLO). I'll definitely look at your recommendations.

# Behavioral Game Theory Reference Request

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-08-13)

I am interested in studying behavioral game theory, particularly in incomplete information games. However, I am having trouble finding a current "textbook" like source to learn from. I've been reading over Colin Camerer's book *Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction*, however, I was curious whether there was something more recent/updated (as it's from 2003, if I recall correctly). I've found various articles on JSTOR and similar databases, but it hasn't been as fruitful an endeavor as I had hoped. Any recent text suggestions/places to look would be sincerely appreciated. (If the text I brought up is considered the "gold standard" for the field, pardon my ignorance; I've only recently started looking into the topic.)

I know a bunch of people who teach behavioral economics using [Erik Angner's book](https://www.macmillanihe.com/page/detail/a-course-in-behavioral-economics-erik-angner/?sf1=barcode&st1=9781137512925).
I love Rani Spiegler's book on behavioral economics in IO called ["Bounded Rationality and Industrial Organization."](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bounded-Rationality-Industrial-Organization-Spiegler/dp/0199334269/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510521553&sr=8-1&keywords=ran%20spiegler) Both books will introduce models that can be applied to poker.

Perhaps a little lighter but still scientific readings would be [Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow"](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11468377-thinking-fast-and-slow) or [Ariely's "Predictably Irrational."](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1713426.Predictably_Irrational)

As already suggested, a "handbook" is always a good place to start: [Handbook of Behavioral Economics - Foundations and Applications.](https://www.sciencedirect.com/handbook/handbook-of-behavioral-economics-applications-and-foundations-1/vol/1)
