You'll waste a little every orbit, sure. Then you'll waste a lot when your hand hits and it's still beaten.
For example, let's say you have
and complete the blinds.
Flop comes up
. Sweet, you've hit your 2 pair, time to print some money!
Turn comes up :Qh:, river
You're now beaten by anyone holding a Q, 7, or any pocket pair except 3's and 4's. Joy.
This is like saying... Well i have

OMG i need to fold!
Yes, bottom 2 pair isn't a monster favorite to the overpair, but you are still far ahead. If the board pairs, you need to make the non-fish move and FOLD. I am sorry, but I hear this all the time and it is so incorrect.
To the original poster - Yes, almost every hand is worth the .10. YES it does matter the stakes. At 1/2 and up the SB is exactly half the BB, where at micro limits it sometimes is 60%. This increases your pot odds more then you might think.
