Re: did I overplay this?
[ QUOTE ]
Underplayed on the flop... raise and push off the weak high and low draws.
Nice push on the turn to get rid of any lingering low-only draws.
Overplayed on the river. Low hand + spade (possible nut) flush filled up. With four remaining in the pot, your best hope is most likely a split. Call the single bet, call or fold to the reraise depending on your read and SB's action.

I think you're giving the Party $0.50/$1 players way too much credit. Granted, there's a possible low, and Hero has the 2nd nut high hand at this point.
I think more often than not, Hero is ahead on this river (against these particular opponents) and stands to make more money in the long-run betting it than check-calling.
Also, I don't feel the flop play was poor, since there are many draws out there that he's probably not going to be able to push anyone out to narrow the field. Instead, he'll just be creating a larger pot that he potentially may not win (depending on how the turn and river play out)
