We consider a game between a patient player 1 and a nonmyopic but less patient opponent, player 2. As usual in reputation models, we suppose that the patient player's type is private information, and that he may be a "commitment type" who is locked into playing a particular strategy. We investigate the extent to which an uncommitted or "normal" type of patient player can exploit his less patient opponent's uncertainty to maintain a reputation for playing like a commitment type.
