Looking at the pattern so far, my opponent seems to be following a strategy where they respond to my previous moves. After I played scissors in round 2, they played scissors in round 3. After I played paper in round 3, they played paper in round 4. After I played rock in round 4, they played rock in round 5. If this pattern continues, they might play scissors this round since I played scissors last. Therefore, I'll choose paper to break my recent losing streak and avoid playing rock (which would lose to their anticipated paper) or scissors (which would lose to their anticipated rock if they're changing strategies). Paper gives me a good chance either way - it beats rock if they try to counter my previous scissors, and it ties with paper if they follow the mirroring pattern.
