The payoffs for "other" were designed so that neither failing to halt, nor convincing the other player not to halt, should ever be a worthwhile strategy. If you don't halt, it gives you the same payoff as if you had cooperated, and gives the other player the same payoff as if you had defected. That way, not halting should be strictly dominated by defecting, since you are better off if you defect, and the other player should react the same way to each threat. And tricking the other player into not halting is also a bad idea, since the payoff you get from it is the same as if they defected.
