The RPS post inspired me, so I'm going to construct some scenarios, and you all vote.
1) best-of-five match
SSRSR -- Hero
RSSPP -- Villain
Hero, next?
2) best-of-five match, same villain, later on
SSSP -- Hero
PRSR -- Villain
Hero, next?
3) best-of-one match, same villain
Hero: ??
villain: ??

Match 1: He's all cised to throw paper again, with his 1r-2s-3p pattern. Also, you've thrown scissors so much lately, he'll think you're going for a rock gambit, and thus pick paper. Scissors it is.
Match 2: Again, he hasn't seen you throw rock in a while. Also, he may be on some kind of P-R-S-R-P pattern. This makes him think you're going rock, so he'll go paper. You nail him with the scissors.
Match 3: "Good ol' rock, nothin' beats that!"

I don't like the scissors opening, unless you have a strong read on your opponent. In my experience, many roshambo amateurs go rock on the first throw.
Match1/Match2 I agree with super.
Match 3, I think paper won't lose, though it may tie. I think it really depends on the outcome of Match 2 though.

See, I think his clear worst throw is scissors, so I throw paper. I play this one defensively.
If he throws paper and we tie, I hit him with the scissors.
