2 player zero-sum-game rock paper scissors expected loss

game theorylinear programmingnash-equilibrium

For the Rock-Paper-Scissors game, I am trying to determine the expected loss for P1.

The following matrix displays how much P1 has lost:
A:
| 0 1 -1 |
| -1 0 1 |
| 1 -1 0 |

I am trying to find the expected loss for P1 when P1 uses mixed strategy x = (x1, x2, x3) and P2 uses mixed strategy y (y1, y2, y3)

I am not sure how to do this?

EDIT:
My attempt is thinking that if I should always have a 1/3 chance of winning, right?

The expected payoff for $P1$ when he plays the mixed strategy $x$ and his opponent plays the mixed strategy $y$ is $x A y^\top$.
