For iterated 2 player's dilemma, you cooperate when the other player cooperates, and defect when the other player defects. Always cooperating is not the best strategy; you need to respond to the other player's actions.

Actually you only cooperate if the other player would defect if you didn't cooperate. If they cooperate no matter what, defect.
