Game theory - in world examples

Well, in Tyrion's prisoner's dilemma he obviously chose to defect. As a serious answer, more information is needed in terms of what examples of game theory in literature entails. I think, generally speaking, Martin depicts how rational-choice models in general are fallacious due to the human element - unless you want to extend the definition of rationality to a tautology.

Are you asking if we see a character use game theory? If so, I would answer that game theory has levels at which you can apply it. A smart person who considers all possibilities and other peoples actions based on those possibilities than in theory they have applied game theory. Obviously none of the characters have computers to run simulations of the thousands of possible variations on everything.
