Is a player's best response in a game the same as his dominant strategy? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


A player's best response is not the same as his dominant strategy. A best response is simply one player's optimal choice, taking the other player's action as given. In other words, a best response gives a player a payoff that is at least as large as the payoff from any other strategy she has available. However, when a player has the same best response to every possible strategy of the other player(s), then we say that the player has a dominant strategy.
