The Hook is the one that discards 2 random cards per hand. It's basically insta-lose for me. What do you do when faced with it?

Play with your heart, not your brain. Usually I'll play large hands (flush, straight) so whatever is left in my hand can be ignored.
Although I say this like i don't occasionally go, "Aha and next hand I'll play that stone card- ah, whoops there it goes..."
Yeah my go-to hands are straights and full houses. Hook makes it tough to play more than one of them.
I was finally able to beat it by just having an overwhelming amount of cards in my hand. Hopefully the game stops throwing it at me every run now that I've beaten it.
