That only makes sense if you restrict Bob's decision making to consider each game in isolation, without regard to how how rejecting an offer in one game might lead to a higher offer in a future game. At that point, I would call it a different problem entirely, so there isn't much point in comparing the results. I certainly wouldn't label that version of the problem "rational" and the version where Bob considers future games "irrational".
