easy fold 4th? (Razz)

In fact, I got to thinking last night : how much should I expand my prefourth calling range to account for the fact that I will win a (small) pot every time my opponent bricks (against a single opponent who I know will always do this)? Obviously I can't play every baby face-card because I will still have to actually play 3/4 of the hands, but I wonder if I can expand my range into hands that I'd normally fold, because of that little boost I get from my opponent folding 4th a lot. Can I start calling with 9 5- 5-? 10 5- 5-? Stuff like AA4? (This is, I guess, assuming that I play as well as, or better, than the guy who always folds 4th). I'll be playing more marginal hands post-4th but I wouldn't expand my range to include really awful hands.

Now you get to the fun part.

I'll give you a hint: the answer is very different on FTP than on Stars.

Is this because of the hole card shuffling on FTP?

That's just what I was thinking.

I play both sites and I think it has to do with the ante/bring-in structure being different.

But subjectively, far fewer fishy types on Stars at the Razz tables. It's a small community, but more fun, better players.

All this stuff about 4th street and calling bricks and starting hands less pristine than three card sevens, all right in the beginning of the Razz section of SoP.
