Could'nt the inflexion of heavy curve also mean that the advantage of heavy play-out disappears when the number of simulation is very high ? With huge number of simulation the heavy player could become weaker than the light player, due to the "wrong knowledge" introduced in the play-out. Sadly it seems hard to test this (12-13-14) without huge computing power, a distributed [EMAIL PROTECTED], or a big amount of patience :-)
