Unimproved AQo Vs. Lead

[JooWish622]

For some reason, people are less likely to read you for an overpair on a XXY flop than an XYZ flop so... he's clearly stated that he's staying with you on the flop. Personally, I would much rather call then take it away since that's what you should do on XXY flop with an overpair (way ahead or way behind) so.. your raise looks more suspicious to me than a call. A call here represents more strength than a raise IMO.

Overbet? my feeling is he'll call down if you halfpot or even pot if hes your typical non-thinking fish. this actually may be an optimal time to bet 1.5 the pot.

Raising an overpair on this flop is non-standard

The replies are confusing me. On one hand, you guys are saying that my hand looks like a steal because overpairs don't raise here, so I'm likely to get called.. then you say I shouldn't raise here with an overpair? Why not if it will look like a missed hand and get a call?

Also, why do I want to call here with an overpair if you're also saying I can call to "take it away on the turn" by representing strength? Shouldn't I play AQ/ and AA/KK the same way each time?

either fold or call and take it away on turn.

I agree with the above quote, read dependant (I know you said you didn't know him though). It would help to know how often this lead means he's going to stay with you on the turn (would he lead w/ JJ here, and if so, would he fold to a turn raise?), or if it means 77, 88 (assuming they will go away). Your image might also help.
