Often, players who lose with rock may shift to paper in the next round (following a lose‐shift pattern), as paper beats rock.

This leaves me with two possibilities: either he’s following a fixed counter‐strategy (in which every move would lose for me) or his moves are more variable. His frequency so far is rock: 2 rounds, paper: 2 rounds, and scissors: 1 round. If he’s random (or trying to equalize frequencies), he might lean on rock and paper more often.
