I'm noticing that the opponent seems to be following a pattern where they match my first move, then continue with a move that would beat my previous move. In round 5, they played paper after I played paper in round 4. Following this pattern, they might play scissors this round (to beat their own paper). If this pattern holds, scissors would be my best choice to counter their predicted scissors with a tie. Additionally, they haven't played scissors in the last two rounds, making it more likely to appear. I need to break my losing streak, so trying to predict their pattern is my best strategy at this point.
