I’m using <a href="https://sites.math.duke.edu/~rtd/PTE/PTE5_011119.pdf">Probability: Theory and Examples</a> by <a href="https://sites.math.duke.edu/~rtd/">Rick Durrett</a>, which seems like a great book and lets me brush up on some basics. I first tried Kallenberg’s <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-61871-1">Foundations of Modern Probability</a>, but most recommend keeping it as a reference rather than a self-study text.</p>Marc Franquesa Monés
