This hand wasn't played badly. Ok, so your main problem at this limit is playing too aggressively before your hand is made. You can't play poker like the pros at 10NL, even though it seems so cool. You simply don't have the fold equity, or overall ability to make your opponents fold. Often at this level, people call with any pair, any draw, or two overcards.

You must check and follow for the right price most of the time when drawing. You must bet your made hands hard, and fold marginal hands like top pair mid kicker in multiway action pots.

Your first read should be to identify who at the table is trying to play somewhat correctly. Once you identify them, you can semibluff, and occassionally stone cold bluff these players only.
