Randomised strategies

Question

I don't understand what is meant my assigning probabilities to randomised strategies. Randomised strategies are themselves probability distributions over the pure strategies.

Answer 1

Great, this is a cautionary tale for two of my favourite don'ts:

• Don't use abbreviations when it would have cost you just a couple of key/pen strokes to write them out and the expected cost to the readership in terms of decryption effort and potential misunderstandings is much higher.

• Don't use "random" when you mean "arbitrary".
