Did I played this hand too passive, weak and terrible?

I definitely bet the flop, if called c/f or c/c the turn. As played, without reads hard to say what to do on the river, although you've shown weakness 3 times in a row so he's most likely stealing. You're only really worried about AK/AT/TT, there's a lot of Ax, 2 broadways and PPs that he could have. I probably call.

he bet 500, this is an insta fold. Why aren't you worried about KT/QT/JT? Really he could have any T and just have been bluffing the flop.

If someone is willing to over bet the pot as a bluff here, you tip your cap and move on. If they are betting any of those hands you list for value (which seems impossible to me but OK), you can get the money later.

OP, Bet flop.

Hm for some reason I thought that'd be unlikely but looking at it again I can't see why, you're absolutely right.

Do you mean we should always give credit to overbets?

Almost everytime I called an overbet it was vs a great hand, either because donk was happy to get as many chips as possible in the pot with the nuts or because he was more likely to get called by making a suspicious bet.

Bet the flop and insta-fold the river.

80 to go preflop, but meh.

On the flop, bet 2/3 pot, and as played, I agree with the others, fold the river. Whilst it's possible that opp is pulling an outrageous bluff, when any naked T beats you, he probably realises that the pot's too small now that he has the nuts and is just trying to get as many chips in the pot as possible.

On this board with no read? Yes.
