guess i was afraid of his overcards sucking out on me. would you recommend calling down and acting on the river if i put him on such a hand that hadn't hit?

just seems like asking for disaster in an inflated pot.

If an over card comes on the turn and he doesn't react then I might be more inclined to raise planning to fold to a re-raise or check down the river. If nothing hits and he keeps bloating the pot I just keep calling.

My plan with an overpair when a villain starts betting is to get to a cheap showdown. Unless I have AA or KK I really do not like pushing with a TT-QQ hand here. You can build a nice pot that you can get away from if villain wakes up. Also, this a potential WA/WB situation. I tend to keep pots smaller when I do not know which end of the spectrum I am on.

Again, I don't really hate your raise. You have to balance several competing factors in a hand like this. It's more important to have more than one tool in your toolbox to choose from in this type of situation.
