Default Trouble playing overpairs

Was the preflop call standard? I assume so, but then what do I do on the flop? A reraise would commit a major chunk of my stack. Should I just push?

i think preflop and flop are both a push. This looks like a standard CB.

What about this hand? I've seen raiser make this kind of raise once before in a similar situation with limpers, but do not know what he has. Not sure if this is a normal raise or maybe a hand that doesn't want to see a flop. This is a 3.30 rebuy at PokerStars.

Hero busts his smaller pair. How often will someone be playing QQ/KK/AA this way? I say AQ/AK/77/88/99/JJ

I ended up pushing and getting two callers. I was happy they both turned over AK, but then the flop had a K and IGHN.

In the first hand, I pushed and he turned over QQ and hit a turn Q but I got the river flush. What a suckout.
