The showdown is free or not at all. It is basically simply a decision that you will put a maximum of two more bets in the pot to get to showdown, thus you try putting them in on the turn. You fold unimproved to a river donk. People go after kill pots very aggresively. You have to fight back with this kind of hand.

Folding an OESD would be a catastrophe, as has been mentioned in this thread, which again I suspect you haven't read.

Fighting hard for kill pots is actually very opponent-specific, and I certainly don't think that >50% fight particularly hard, especially when they're not in LP. Many loose-passives stay loose-passive; lots of standard tight live players stay tight, because after all their tightness is largely a fear of putting money in the pot, and when there's a kill there's more money to lose.
