Looking at the opponent's pattern, they've played rock then scissors in the first two rounds. This could indicate a clockwise rotation in the RPS cycle (rock → scissors), which might suggest they'll play paper next. By choosing scissors, I can counter this potential paper play. Additionally, since I'm already ahead 2-0, I can afford to make a strategic choice that exploits the potential pattern rather than playing defensively. If they're anticipating my strategy and play rock instead, I'll need to adjust in future rounds.
