I would have played it just like you did, but the fact that it is .01 before the flop is irrelivant - it is 1/2 a small-bet regardless of that the stakes are.

I'm pushing the river the I'm thinking the CO might have a pocket pair and he probably won't lay down a full house or he thinks the pot will be a split because there's only 1 card he needs to worry about (which you have ). Reminds me of this hand seeing as how he was in the blind I guess I was thinking at the time he could have a 9,2 on the flop I figured he had at least one or the other to stay in. This was the first time I was in this type of situation myself.

actually, the max buyin of the game is $5 which is 250x the bb compared to the normal 100bb. limping here is an ok play if he had a $5 stack, but he doesnt. so its -ev in this case, but not always. if you are just learning and dont fully understand all the concepts though, it is probably better to just fold pf.

You must push the river. You have the nuts. Whats 0.12 gonna do for you? Hes calling and cound have a big pp at this limit you never know. Get paid on your quads particularly when its 3 to the board. Few players are believing you have the case.

Kinda irrelevant...the point is would you pay and extra 50% to see a flop with 27s?

You catch a 2, great - weak kicker. You catch a 7, great - weak kicker. You catch bottom 2 pair, great - someone has top2 pair.

I think Gir said it best, hope I'm not repeating anything

I wouldn't make this call regardless of the circumstance - even if it is only a penny. Maybe if by your judgement, you felt this table could benefit you in this type of call...and you made the decision but, would you limp in with 28s, or 29s, or 2Ts, or 2Js? prolly not.

At least I would hope not.

did anybody even see my post?

the reason you are folding 27s at .05/.10 and calling at .01/.02 isnt because "its only a penny". the reason you are calling is because you are only risking 1sb to win 250bb. whereas in .05/.10 its 1sb to win 100bb. the level of play is much worse also so you should be able to know when its good.

also it cant hurt showing down 27s
