[edit] Removed line

I have removed the following line from the previous entry:

A player would only use a mixed strategy when they are indifferent between several pure strategies, and when keeping the opponent guessing is desirable, that is, when the opponent can benefit from knowing the next move.

I'm worried this might be misleading. Supposing that players only play Nash equilibria, this statement is true. But an entry on mixed strategies should not assume that players only play Nash equilibria, one might play a mixed strategy which is not Nash. --Kzollman 21:14, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
