Misapplication.

This is microstakes. Passive villains will make terrible call downs with one pair hands, call down with draws, etc. This 8 isn't a scare card for us. It only really improves 78, 68, 88. He's not likely raising the first two.

I'm never folding here. If he pushes a blank river, you can fold. However, most passive villains will not push here with a made hand and bet $5 "for value" but will just as often have A8, 99-JJ.
So true. Maybe I'm sucking at 10nl right now because I've forgotten this, lol. As you said we're ahead of so much that'll pay us off, betting turn sounds better now.
