I'm running bad this past week and am starting to question whether I overplay certain situations. Insane to bet/call this river?

yes. Consider your options, and evaluate how often villain has to have which holdings and react in which ways to make one option more profitable than another. Thinking the reasoning through for yourself in this situation will help you much more than being told "yes, it's crazy", or "no, it's fine".

I like a check-call on this river. I just dont see a whole lot of hands that raise this flop and arent ahead by the river other than a missed flush draw.

Thanks, I needed that. I think this bet/call line was due to the emtional state that can come from seeing the same situation repeating itself over and over again within as short space of time. I wanted to compensate for the loss of previous beats by valuebetting excessively. Unsound thinking, naturally. Time for a break.
