Novadays, people doing 3gate robo expand which can't be countered by suggested:

2/3 gate Robo- If the player isn’t terrible, you can just pressure him a lot, and contain him while you get an earlier nexus, personally, after expand, I get 2 sentries, and 2 stargates. I’ll use the sentries for scouting, while I make void rays. Play a macro game after; you should have a slight lead.

Here I did early pressure with my stalker and MSC, but opponent had army already and had an expansion... we were in a quite same situation except of he had robo which counter stalkers by immortals... until I have enough stalkers i can pressure him.

Am I doing something wrong?

If you execute correctly you still should be able to harass and expand behind your pressure. It's really hard and takes a lot of execution (as well as some help from the map - it needs to have a lot of space for your stalkers to move around) though.

Also, 3gate robo>expand (unless it's an aggressive 3gate) is actually a terrible build.

Yeah Teoita is pretty correct, 3 gate robo is just really bad. However, it does pretty well at countering your build if you dont have good micro. To get ahead you'll need to expand and then use your blink stalkers to continuously pick off stalkers/zealots/sentries and maybe even immortals if theres a good opportunity. Unfortunately this takes really good micro so it will take a lot of practice . That's pretty much always the case with blink though; it's much easier to play defensive styles in pvp.

But why 3G=>Robo is bad? How can I exploit that badness?

It's not as economical as a fast expand, it can't put any pressure on, it can't harass in any way shape or form, it's the single worst build against stargate openers, and going 3gates into robo means your observer and immortals are delayed so a really crisp blink build can even kill you straight up.
