Too aggressive on river?

In a couple of hands I posted earlier, the consensus was that I was too passive on the later streets. Did I overcompensate by being too aggressive on the river here, or did I play this OK?

Betting the river with a straight was correct. However, when you were raised, it would have been better to call against most opponents. Your straight was not the nut straight. KT beat you, and the paired board made a full house possible. Folding of course, would be a huge mistake. Your worst mistake, IMO was not raising pre-flop. The opponent who beat you might have folded had you raised.

Raise your pocket tens preflop. That may have pushed out CO with 98os to begin with. I would probably raise the flop to thin the field as well. Betting the river is a good call, but I would have just called the raise.
