Curation strategy depends on the size of your account.
Jerry's findings suit his account, at 93,000 SP. This will not suit an account at 1-2000 SP. A smaller account will be swamped by larger votes and get little/0 % of the pie.
After Steemfest I will get stuck into proving this :)
I'm pretty sure you're off on this. The only difference from the amount of SP from the curator is the amount of rewards. 10x SP = 10x More Rewards.
Therefore, the exact same strategy is game-theoretically called for. This is axiomatic and inarguable, unless vote weight becomes logarithmic again.
Small curators get proportionately small rewards, and while they may not "be worth" working to get, the game theory is the same.

If you disprove this, it will be quite the story. Make sure to let us know!
