Re: Razz 4th street question
If both you and your opponent brick, you should call if he bets. This is an extreme case because your brick is not so bad and his is awful, but by no means do I think folding is the right thing to do in a pot this size for the villain.
Let's examine the options, and see if we can give the opponent a chance to make a mistake:
* We bet
- he calls - is this a mistake? I don't think so (it's close) - a bet is ALWAYS correct if he will call 5th no matter what comes, because there's an extra bet on 5th.
- he folds - is this a mistake? Maybe a little (it's close th ough)
* We check
- he bets - is this a mistake - YES
* he checks - is this a mistake - NO but it might lead to him making a mistake on 5th
As far as I can see, checking is a small mistake on our part, but it's almost the only way we can get him to make a mistake now or on 5th. I'd probably bet much of the time and check the rest of the time, betting maybe 2/3 of the time.
