He needs to be pretty stupid to not be ahead here, but a lot of people are. I don't feel like I can find a fold anyway and the next street we play will be for his stack. Turn push standard? If he had a full stack, would that change your action?

If he's been very passive with strong PPs, then you might be able to check and make some crying calls or fold on the turn/river. Generally speaking, I think you're ahead more than you're behind here - especially with a board like that a lot of mid/low PPs won't believe an overpair and will pay you off. I don't mind the way it played out at all though.
