Re: Razz - calling 4th?
I haven't decided what I think about 4th. The typical rules for how many bets you want in the pot is not totally applicable because your hands are relatively close in value. Folding is the more conservative route, and if it's a mistake to fold, it can't be a big one. This is a hand that is going to be high variance and is going to require some careful decisions on probably every future street. You're drawing 2 cards to an 8, and your outs are pretty dead.
The biggest difference between Q vs J and T vs 9 is this:
You need to catch better than a 9 AND catch better than your opponent. You'll catch better than your opponent half the time, but in the 9/T case you'll improve 50% of the time, in the Q/J case you'll improve something like 75% of the time.
That's a big difference: that's 1:1 vs 3:1
