question for everyone...

Is there a name for when an optimal strategy is avoided because the optimal strategy is easily defended against when you know the person is using it in the first place?

Or the reverse, where someone might intentionally use a very poor strategy specifically because the user would never expect a user to pick a poor strategy and thus, at least when assumed it wont be used, becomes a strong strategy?

@freemo Sounds like diminishing returns, but it’s not exactly the same

@realcaseyrollins Not sure I see what the connection to diminishing returns might be. I also might be missing something.
