Not going to criticize your play here, but this is nowhere near the parameters you said you were willing to go to in your original post.  It's easy to call the 15 from the small blind.  15 is only .36% of your 4225 stack.  That's POINT 36, or one third of one percent.  You are second chip leader and have some leeway.

Yes, your lead out post flop bet is basically a steal attempt.  What kind of re-raise would you call here?  Are you just going to bet and fold, or chase further with your weak kicker and worst position?

I don't think your play on this hand is bad, but it's not the scenario you posted about.  Even if you were to bring out an example where you hit the lottery hand, though, one result does not validate your approach.  In fact - results never should.  A playing decision is right or wrong based on eV, not on whether the outcome goes your way or not.  I think it's silly when people rabbit hunt, find their miracle would or wouldn't have come, then say  they were right in folding.  They were right or wrong before the rabbit, regardless of outcome.

I don't think you're really here to learn, because nothing is getting through to you.  Why do you think every single poster is trying to help you see your errors while you simply restate your theory?   You're kind of getting it half right.  Pot odds are important and always a consideration.  But systematically ignoring all other factors and calling with a poor hand in worst position is rarely a good idea.  Call with your 27o.  The flop comes 772.  FullHouse!  Did you make a good play?
