Did you fold an overpair getting 11 to 1?

Because that would be silly.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

I'll admit that I'm getting increasingly frustrated by hands like this. I get raised on the turn by a passive player, and then I have no clue what to do next. When do you calldown and when do you not? Do you reraise here? When do you respect their raise and let it go, and when do you not?

EDIT NEXT DAY:
Sorry about that. I see why this was a bad play. This response was just me venting out some frustration, because my move up to a new limit at PokerStars failed. Some of it was bad beats, and some of it was me doing crap like this. I'm going to move back down and work on my game more.

I think bet way to call it down the top pair.
the flop and turn didn't look too dangerous. He might raise you with just top pair top kicker

i'm almost tempted to 3bet it, but probably call down cuz he's passive.

I call down expecting to lose. I think you will lose this hand more than half the time. Regardless, you only need to win ~15% to make a profit.
