Looking at the previous rounds, my opponent has shown a pattern of choosing rock when I select scissors (rounds 2 and 6), and scissors when I select paper (rounds 3 and 5). There's also been two ties, with rock-rock and paper-paper. Given this pattern, my opponent might anticipate me choosing rock, which would lead them to choose paper. To counter that, I'll choose scissors. Additionally, my opponent hasn't played paper in the last two rounds, which slightly increases the probability they might play paper this round to mix up their strategy. I'm clearly behind in the score, so I need to take some calculated risks to try to catch up.
