A dominant strategy in game theory means it's your best strategy, regardless of what strategy your opponents pick.

> In game theory, strategic dominance (commonly called simply dominance) occurs when one strategy is better than another strategy for one player, no matter how that player's opponents may play.

That is what is being described above.
