VP Jacks or Better strategy questions

Two Jacks or Better strategy questions:

Should an unsuited J,Q,K, A (not four to a Royal) be played as an outside straight ? I’ve been playing as not being an outside straight instead choosing two of the high cards trying for a Jacks or better.

Should you ever hold a 4 low card inside straight opportunity? I’ve been discarding all cards?

JQKA (not all the same suit) is not 4 to an outside straight. It's an inside straight, because the only card that will complete a straight is 10. It's worth more than two or three of the face cards.

4 to an inside straight numbers only is worth less than garbage in JoB or Bonus Poker because the second most common prize is two pair which pays 2-1.
