This was exactly the topic I tackled in this article: http://dcook.org/compgo/article_the_problem_with_random_playouts.html The conclusion is that random playouts are weak, and you need to use heavy playouts. But, as Remi explained, when you do that you need to be careful not to penalize good moves (self-atari in a nakade) when penalizing bad moves (self-atari generally).
