Play to advantage
What does this mean? Is it natural to ever say this?
He played to her advantage.
thanks

g. " She played to her advantage", where "she" and "her" refer to the same person. To me, "He played to her advantage" seems unusual and possibly wrong, though I suppose it could be a deliberate variation of the expected formula.

Normally one plays to one's own advantage; e.g. "She played to her advantage", where "she" and "her" refer to the same person. To me, "He played to her advantage" seems unusual and possibly wrong, though I suppose it could be a deliberate variation of the expected formula. I would prefer to see the full context.
