Most t's do a macro barracks and gas. If you scout Z do a 3 rax fast +1 with the gas or you can do a fast drop / wraiths / vult etc etc.. usually if they random (unless Testie/Eriador) they arent great with 2 of the 3, and if that one is Z than you can bet on early and basic. So jus play safe / strong and your fine.

Wall in, early scout with a scv at the same time when you build first supply.
if you dont find him first spot, youll likely take your gas before you find him. (like on luna where you are far away.)

Vs zerg use some gas tech units, like maybe go for a fast +1, wraiths, dropship or whatever suits you, if its nostalgia or another non gas natural maybe vultures into fast exp?`

Lol, we posted at exact same time =P

well, i do also have some TVR problems, i often lose to a very fast ling rush :/, and even if i go fast scout, i will allways be so unlucky and will first find him at the 3rd main base
as Arnold said: you have been erased! but dont worry!

T vs Random is very easy in comparison to ZvR or PvR.

My build of choice is to obviously 9 depot 10/11 rax 12 gas (no wall), and to scout at latest when the barracks starts. Then, if he is zerg, you can stop mining at 100 gas and you can make an engineering bay for fast +1 weapons/armor. Or, you can go 1rax gas as you would vs zerg (you should familiarize yourself with all sorts of builds so that you can pull these off successfully).

The key is really scouting early, having one rax is not a disadvantage vs Zerg, you can always just add a 2nd one as soon as you scout him and stop gas. As long as you don't die to a zergling rush, you're fine. Another cute thing you can do is make 2-3 marines, stop gas for a while, and then just build a command center, etc. Try to be misdirecting in your plays and mix it up - the key to being able to mix it up properly, of course is being familiar with the most builds possible.

In tvr I recommend non walling going standard gas style build. Like others said once you scout z you just modify your build. Vs toss it sucks a bit that you have wall. But on the other hand you don't have to worry about some 9 pool faggot fucking you up if you happen to scout him last. Oh but if you can get a wall that blocks lings(like 9 lt) then just go for that.

Scout earlier, don't wall in, scout with about your 7th scv or so, rax at 10, gas at 12, if zerg cancel gas if possible and add another rax and play normally, if terran/toss just keep gas and play normally

tvr is pretty hard if you choose to followup with fast factory or starport or any build like that instead of a fast engineering bay which is the proper thing to do. (or just temporarily pulling scvs off gas and doing a fast expand. that's not bad either actually. ) starport sucks against any random player though because that's what he will be used to facing from terran players. gassing is definitely the right thing to do here tho cause otherwise you lose tvp or tvt most of the time.

and unless you are playing a map/location where you can make a lingproof block with either 1 rax+depot or 1 rax, do not wallin.

likewise if you pvr and he's zerg, for the love of god do not go starport. any player who is used to random z vs p will rape you then. I think you should 2 gate vs random personally which screws you a bit vs terran but less than gassing does vs zerg. I know you didn't ask about this but I still mention it cause there was a discussion.

and just to mention it, with z vs random you should 12pool which doesn't REALLY set you back in any matchup as long as you followup correctly.

for PvR why not just go 9 gate because you can still block the ramp vs zerg 9 pool, but you are better able to play PvT and PvP ?

for TvX just try getting a 2nd depot before u gas, thus getting marines out and only delaying the tech a few seconds
vs zerg - prevents 9 pool and allows for m&m and early tank pressure
vs protoss - allows for a very nice 1 factory gundam rush early expo (or two factories if you want)
vs terran - 2 scv 2 marine rush almost always catches your opponent with his pants down

Scout with your 5th SCV, it wont hurt your econ if you spread well.

If he turns out to be Z, then I advice playing NortyDog-Terran (Famous Australian Cheese Baron). This is where you build an ebay up to 100-150 hp in the expo site, then take their gas.

Then proceed to play high tech units, I personally like wraiths, but NortyDog told me its much easier to finish off the game if you go 2 rines 4 bats 2 meds and rape his ass.

up to you.
