Given MPs stack I don't think you did yourself much harm on the flop, but betting more on a board this co-ordinated won't harm you either, I think you have to call the turn push because it doesn't seem to make any sense at all, if he hit an 8 I think it is highly likely he checks to you again.

at these level, raise more pre
and this is an easy call imo.

With no reads I say call then take good notes if you're beat.

Insta call since it's a shorty and I tend not to give them much credit (leak?). I often rationalize that there's a reason most of these guys are short and the number 1 reason is that they are donks. I know this is generalizing and there are some players that play a tight mean short stack game (not many IMO). You will see a full array of trash often here including A3, A10, K10, J10, flush draws, Straight draws, etc. I call this all day long. If he has an 8 so be it. Your cbet is fine BTW.

To me this bet made no sense as well,he might do this with a flushdraw,but i would have that beat right now anyway.if he really had an 8,he would probably check to me,since he can easily push if i bet since he is that short.so i called.
btw,he had k-10o /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Never ever fold an overpair to a push from a stack this short. Shortstacks are usually desperate and overplaying their top- or mid-pair type hands.

Does much make sense in micro limits- especially this low. I bounce between NL2 and NL5 and see a lot of crazy things. I think this is very player dependent but I can easily see someone calling a big PFR w A8s,K8s,89s, etc. If this dude is a loose passive player - probably not within his game to slow play monsters; call when catch a piece and push when improve. All you have is an overpair.
