I don't recall where or when I read it, but there is a strategy that usually beats Tit-fot-tat.

Tit for tat, but also a small (random) chance of forgiving (giving a break) anyway. I believe the reason that won is that this allowed for recovery in the face of understandings and as long as the chance wasn't that large the cost also wasn't.
