Default AQ with top pair

Little bit different question I'd like to pose here.

(1) If we assume that MP2 has AA or KK, what's my best line to determine this and loose as few chips as possible on this hand. Lead 150 and fold to reraise? Or is KK, AA just going to call that flop bet and let me keep leading firing at it? I suspect most $20+2 players reraise me with AA or KK on this flop if I lead at it.

(2) Assuming I knew for a fact that he's got JJ or some lower pocket pair, what would be my best play to extract chips from him?

Obviously MP2's range of hands is much wider but I'm curious about these two possible hands.

PokerStars $20+2 No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) converter

CO (t1500)
Button (t1490)
SB (t1480)
BB (t1280)
UTG (t3250)
UTG+1 (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls t40, Hero calls t40.

Flop: (t210) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero ?

Default Re: AQ with top pair

With this flop I'd bet about 3/4 the pot. I don't think he's likely to flat call you with a better hand.

If he makes a decent sized reraise he probably has overpair or trips. If he pushes, he probably has a flush draw, maybe with the Kh overcard or is bluffing, but I might convince myself he pushed with trip 7's and fold.
