Ok, this is confusing.
Even if White does not play d4 he is not worse, I remember analyzing that line in my youth.

So for example if we were playing 20 blitz games, and you started getting me into bad positions, then I'd switch to 1...e5 (sometimes 1...g6).

Your hope chess triggers me.
I had a mental breakdown while playing blitz in the 90s, I have never been super good at blitz chess but I thought I was decent, some random hustler rated USCF 1500 destroyed me and I had the breakdown.
Never tried blitz after that, just some blitz here while I am strapped to the chair.

I played against a crap 1300 player here. He got scared when I pushed my h-pawn and he started hanging everything, somehow I managed to hang all of my pieces back and then lose on time. I got triggered when he played his crappy stonewall.
Good old CRAPPY BLITZ.

Ah, that bugs me too. When they play some crap opening, and I get a big advantage, then they shuffle around like an idiot all game while I'm winning... but then I lose because of one dumb thing (at least that's what it feels like).

Are you asking about 2...Nf6 vs 2...Qxd5?
The basic idea is black would rather capture with the knight than bring his queen out early, and if white protects with c4 and tries to keep the extra pawn, then black gets compensation for the material with really fast development.

Not a reference to anything. I was trying to think of an uncommon name, thought of Quinn, and then added chin to it.
Searched for funny chin pictures and found my avatar.

e4 d5, e takes d5, knight c6 bishop b5 checkaroo!!
my theroy is this line shuts down the scandinavian followed by bishop d7=bishop e2
Yes. 5.Nf3!
A natural looking move right? You'd think just by random chance you'd see it a lot, but for some reason it's pretty rare (unless they already know to play it).
Here's a bad followup for white I get a lot
