Given my history (I have played paper 3 times in the last rounds) and the fact that paper guarantees that I win if the opponent goes with rock (which he does sometimes) and ties if he goes with paper, choosing paper minimizes the risk of falling further behind. In contrast, choosing scissors would win more often only if the opponent sticks with paper but would cost me a loss if he instead picks rock—which is too risky given I’m already behind.
