I really don't know how to play hands like these... generally I suspect that I have the best hand but I'm at a 10+1 table, and generally people will call you down with overcards or even have a better hand than you... how do you play this hand?

I think you played it fine. You kept the pot small early with a very modest hand. I may have be a bit more on the flop, say 75. You bet the flop and got called in two places. I'm done with the hand unless I improve on the turn. I'm also calling the river.

With as many chips as you started the hand with, I'd probably bet out again on the turn for 125-150. That's debatable and sometimes dangerous without a read though, so I wouldn't do it if your stack was much smaller. This is just a very marginal situation and I think you played it fine. Oh... one thing I see at the $10+1's a lot is people calling a flop bet to see one more card if they have overs or any kind of draw, yet folding to a turn bet. Keep that in mind if a second bet won't hurt your stack too much.
