In Response To: Risk aversion (phil Simborg)

~~I don't believe you can set a bot to play for risk aversion, because by definition, that play yields lower equity than the optimum play.

Optimal play would be redefined for the risk averse playing style. Instead of equity it would use a new metric which combined the two values. Alternatively you could think of the risk aversion as a non-random noise function.
