Haha! Come on man.. You just need a few adjustments to suit your skill level.
Obviously you are staring down your first option if you are claiming the CPU knows the play you are calling. I guarantee if you look at the replay you'll see other players that were open. You can't stay locked in on your first read all the time with my sliders. You have to go through your progressions or else you'll struggle.
Maybe you just had a bad game. You did win the first. Which set are you using man?
