Looking at our previous rounds, there have been many ties recently (rounds 4-7), suggesting my opponent might be mirroring my moves or following a predictable pattern. In the last round, we both played scissors. If my opponent expects me to continue with scissors, they might play rock to counter. Alternatively, if they think I'll switch to rock (anticipating their scissors), they might play paper. By choosing paper, I can win if they play rock, which seems like a reasonable counter to my previous scissors moves. While this is a risk if they play scissors again, they've already played scissors three times (more than other options), so they might vary their strategy.
