Systematically perform better, but in this specific situation perform worse? That doesn't sound like a winning strategy on a one-shot dilemma. And the parenthetical patch doesn't seem to fix this problem: if the payoffs are randomly assigned in this one-shot case, and you get the short end of the stick - well, you know you aren't going to get another chance, because it's a one-shot case. Good luck trying to counterfactually mug the player here.
