I find that this doesn't hold in the low-stakes online games I've seen. Seems like, often as not, the guy with the Q doesn't know up from down, and thinks a pair of nines with a Q is just wonderful.

So I'm considering this:
1. call everything on third unless you really are hopelessly screwed
2. rewrite the rules, and define 4-card "starting" hands and go from there with actual strategy.

In the few games I've seen, throwing away a 773 is like throwing money out the window.
