Based on the previous rounds, there's a potential pattern forming. My opponent chose rock in round 1, then scissors in round 2. If they're following a simple rotation (rock → scissors → paper), they might choose paper this round. Additionally, my opponent might anticipate that I'll choose rock again after it won me the previous round. By choosing scissors, I can counter if they play paper. Since I'm already ahead 2-0, I can afford to take a calculated risk with scissors rather than playing defensively.
