A situation that has me wamboozled is when I have a medium PP and flop an overpair to the board. How do you proceed in these kind of situations? (I know, a vague question, but some general tips would be nice)

Like a weak/tight nit.

It really depends on the texture of the flop and how many people are in the pot. In this example I would bet and fold to any resistance. I would fold to the minicheckraise. I know it sounds weak but you're not usually winning a pot when against 5 players with an UI small pair.

At the very least he has A6 and that's a good scenerio for you. He could already have a straight/set. He could also have an overcard/inside straight draw/flush draw combo or two overcards with a flush draw so you're almost never in any kind of shape to continue.

c/f in a mulitway pot, especially with any draws out there. With fewer people in the pot and no draws on the board, I bet the pot and proceed with extreme caution if any one calls.
