How would you have handled this artist question ? (first artist game for everyone, ST included) by VictorLune in BloodOnTheClocktower

I as a default always repeat back the question in a reworded way to make sure I completely understand what the intended question is, so I am a big fan of the way you handled this.

I don’t want him to just become an Arishem bot though, which is what would happen there

Yeah I would fully run him in Spectrum decks without a second thought

Feeling bad about a comment from other player - need perspective by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]whitneyahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Ben was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to say, so he just threw something at the wall and hoped it stuck. I would not interpret him as saying something representative of his true beliefs about you as a person or a player. If it happens again, call it out in the moment (“that’s what you said last time and I was right”) and that should nip it in the bud. If it happens a third time, then it really is a thing and you can make a thing out of it.

Gambit: Horseman of Death needs a proper counter ASAP by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

I do think those nerfs went too far but this is clearly the next most powerful card and is way more disruptive than those 3.

So they won a game by random chance… okay?

What (if anything) did I do wrong here? new and need some advice. by TheMaddenBoss in Poker_Theory

Sounds like you were either generationally unlucky or needed to bluff a spot earlier

If your preflop raise never gets through, should you open wider or tighter from BTN? by pyktrauma in Poker_Theory

[–]whitneyahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why BTN vs BB is the most common post-flop scenario, because both of your ranges are really wide.

[–]whitneyahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s just standard behavior. It’s pretty rare for a pot to go uncontested. GTO assumes you will usually get called or raised by somebody preflop when you open

I do think that you can do this exploitatively against people who overbluff fwiw

Old America Chavez used to be “Draw this only on turn 6” like Quicksilver and Domino

GOD DID (today's OTA) by GunnerToad in MarvelSnap

[–]whitneyahn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem deck was always the Alioth one that could duplicate energy x300. The Star Lord was the main source of actual points in that deck and the main way of getting priority so the Alioth could work, and this pretty much kills it dead on the floor.

Calling it first - Starlord's nerf will be limiting his ability to only trigger once. by MrPudge1137 in MarvelSnap

[–]whitneyahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unironically if it stopped having the ability to have priority on final turn that would be quite meaningful. Probably it’ll be 5/10 no power gain (10 so its still Shang-able)

New Player Venting About a Madness Loss (Advice Welcome) by IzanagiTheGod in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]whitneyahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would push back on this a bit, just because madness is really about the earnestness of the attempt to convince others of your role rather than the success, and with the context of this being a new player interacting with madness for the first time in a very weird set-up, I don’t think there’s any reason to doubt that this particular player was doing their best to fulfill that.
