### Strategy Description for `huggingface_DeepSeek_V3_0324_PayoffMaximizer_A_MR6`

**Meta-Game Analysis:**
1. **Past Performance:**  
   - In MR1, mutual cooperation led to equal scores (12-12).  
   - In MR2, our strategy outperformed the opponent (16-11), suggesting a successful exploitation or adaptation.  
   - In MR3, the opponent heavily exploited us (10-20), indicating a vulnerability in our strategy.  
   - In MR4, we dominated (48-3), likely due to a highly exploitative or punishing strategy.  
   - In MR5, the opponent reversed this (3-48), showing they adapted to counter our MR4 approach.  

2. **Opponent's Tendencies:**  
   - The opponent's MR5 strategy started with cooperation, then switched to defection if it detected hard-coded defection in our code. It also used early-round behavior to adjust mid-game moves (e.g., Tit-for-Tat variants).  
   - The opponent is likely to:  
     - Start cooperatively to gauge our behavior.  
     - Punish defections but may forgive early defects if they seem accidental.  
     - Scan our code for hard-coded defections or patterns.  

**Strategy Goals:**  
- Maximize our payoff by balancing exploitation and cooperation.  
- Avoid triggering the opponent's defection mechanisms (e.g., hard-coded "D" checks).  
- Adapt dynamically to the opponent's behavior while masking our intentions.  

**IPD Match Logic:**  
1. **Initial Rounds (1-3):**  
   - Cooperate ("C") to build trust and avoid triggering early defection from the opponent.  
   - If the opponent defects in any of these rounds, switch to Tit-for-Tat (TFT) for the rest of the match.  

2. **Mid Rounds (4-7):**  
   - If the opponent has cooperated consistently (≤1 defect in rounds 1-3), continue cooperating.  
   - If the opponent has defected ≥2 times, switch to "Tit-for-Two-Tats" (defect only after two consecutive opponent defects).  
   - If the opponent's code contains checks for hard-coded defections (e.g., `return "D"`), avoid defecting in a way that matches these patterns.  

3. **Final Rounds (8-10):**  
   - If the opponent has mostly cooperated (≥70% "C"), continue cooperating to maximize mutual gains.  
   - If the opponent has defected frequently (≥40% "D"), defect in the last two rounds to exploit their trust.  
   - If the match is highly competitive (close scores), defect in the final round to secure a marginal advantage.  

**Code Analysis:**  
- Scan the opponent's code for patterns like "always defect" or "detect hard-coded defection." If found, avoid matching these patterns (e.g., use probabilistic defection instead of fixed rules).  
- If the opponent's code is complex (e.g., machine learning), default to TFT to minimize exploitation risk.  

**Edge Cases:**  
- If the opponent always defects, switch to "Always D" after round 3.  
- If the opponent always cooperates
