Default Razz - calling 4th?

Who folds 4th here? I hate 9s because I never know whether to consider them bricks or not. I feel like it's too early to give up, like if it was J/Q, I'd call, I think. I don't know why it being 9/T threw me, but it did.

Razz ($5/$10), Ante $0.50, Bring-In $2 (converter)

3rd Street - (0.70 SB)

Seat 1: xx xx A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___raises
Seat 2: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___folds
Hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___calls
Seat 4: xx xx 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___brings-in___folds
Seat 5: xx xx 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___folds
Seat 7: xx xx 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___folds
Seat 8: xx xx 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___folds

4th Street - (3.10 SB)

fold because your draw is bad and missing 87 cards.

J/Q (or 9/9) would be a call IMO though.

An easy fold surely with 5 of your outs gone.

[/ QUOTE ]Of course, you and tinkerman are right about the bad board. Interesting how this is a better call with QJ. I think I'm beginning to understand why 9/T always seems so hard to play in either direction.

I know! It's horrible, isn't it? I think I called because all those little cards folded and I thought, "There must be a lot of little cards out." Dumb. It was one of those "feeling" hands. And I ended up winning it and being real embarrassed because I played it so badly.

Maybe I called because I was surprised at the bet from the 9. I would've checked, I think, to a T. And it's all Rusty's fault, anyway, he convinced me to start playing 8s.

You have to revalue hands based on the board. That many of your outs missing moves a hand down like 2 notches. Favorable board conditions make that a raising hand for me.

I'd probably consider either raising to see if he's serious, or folding. I'd probably fold much of the time.

just like everyone else said, your outs are too dead to call here, it's possibly even a fold 3rd. Since you called It won't hurt calling considering a lot of low cards are out so one of you are destined to brick. I like calling 4th here just to see 5th if you are feeling lucky. Otherwise it's not a big enough pot to get your money into as a slight dog.

if you call 3rd you have to call 4th, so make the decision then.
