Re: a razz odds question

I suppose part of the problem is that I'm not entirely sure what the odds need to be on 4th to continue if I catch a 9 or a T and my opponent catches a baby card. If you can enlighten me on this subject also, I would be much obliged.

I've read (and re-read) SOP. But what constitutes a brick, or at least an auto-fold brick, isn't so clear, and the ante structures of the games that Sklansky describes are different. Sklansky makes it clear that in a pot that was double-raised on 3rd st., 4th st. is an automatic call as long as you started with a three card hand. In the 15-30 game Sklansky describes, that means 88-15 or about 6-1 gives you that automatic call. Well, I've been playing the 2-4 on stars, where in a single raised pot, I can be getting 11-2 or 5.5-1 on 4th st., so I suppose I still need to call if I brick.
Actually, I was hoping to pry the odds from someone so I wouldn't have to sit down and do the math myself, but I just did, and maybe I'm better off for it.
