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?
- Pure outscaling (i.e knock him out in one hand)
- Strategic use of hands as discarded (may backfire)
- Playing smaller card hands - high card-builds can work quite well
- Having manipulated the deck well enough that playing your target hands is more likely (Hanged Man and Death are arguably the best tarot cards, even though I love Temperance and Hermit)
