This table was pretty loose...
Didn't get a read on the opponent...

$10 into a $1.65 pot, I'd say that qualifies as overplayed.

I think he will call with anything that beats you, and fold everything else. I guess you might get him to fold a bigger overpair, but I think he would have reraise QQ+ preflop. If you are trying to represent a str8, then you have led the flop with only a gutshot.

I would bet pot again on the turn.

i'd 3/4 or pot the turn. pushing the turn was definitely overplaying

Raise more preflop (0.40).

Bet more on the flop (like pot).

On the turn, either check behind or bet something like 2/3pot to pot.

When you bet 10X the pot on the river with 1 pair it is pretty safe to say that you are only gonna be called by a hand that beats you. This is double or perhaps triple true when there is a flush and strait possibility.
