There's really no use raising (or playing) here simply because there's nothing to steal, and that's what you are doing if you raise with T8o, stealing.

If this is all you're trying to do, then yes it's a bad play. But it's not. There's no such thing as blind stealing with the blinds this low. The blinds barely even exist. What you're doing is challenging players behind you to play poker. If you think you're a better post-flop player than they are and enough better that you can win more than you lose with a marginal hand like T8, then by all means play it. Without much of a read, I fold. If I think my opponents are bad at poker, I verywell might raise.
