54 of hearts - should I call preflop?
 

Unfortunately this is my first (omgosh) hand at this table.

Party Poker 0.001/0.002 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, SB calls, Hero ... ?

Meh. Whatever. It's only .4 cents, you can't even buy a candy bar for that these days.

Oh, wait, hypothetical table, right?! Fold. You could only play this aggro if the flop came 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and I think your action would pretty much dry up.

it's actually only .002 dollars, so .2 cents, but let's talk about small bets and big bets here.

Re: 54 of hearts - should I call preflop?
 

I doubt your bankroll can support making yet another $.002 big bet preflop. Move to a different table, the variance at this one is going to kill you.

21:2 closing the action? Sure, I'll play it.

I like this situation. You only had to put in $.008 preflop, and the pot is up to .17 on the flop. I'm not sure where all that extra money came from, but if it's gonna happen on each street, you definitely have the odds to make this call.
