Re: Slightly OT Game Theory beginner confusion
For player 2 (across the top), N is a dominated strategy.
His payouts are respectively, 25, 26, 27 going down the N column. But if he were to pick J, then his payouts are 32, 54, 29.
So player 2 needs to ask himself, “if player 1 chooses N, am I better off choosing J or N”? So he compares the first numbers, and sees that 32>25. he then repeats, 54>26, and 29>27.
So no matter what Player 1 picks, Player 2 will always prefer J over N. Thus its dominated. Spank that option, baby!
