Overpair on a paired flop. I'm saying new because I thought I was good at these spots for a while, but I'm getting smoked lately. Multiway, I'm pretty comfortable. Bet once and then shut down. Fold if someone bets. HU it's a little tougher. It seems like whenever I finally get convinced that no one's every bluffing me after flat-calling the flop, something like this happens:

Granted, if I reraised small enough to allow a 4-bet preflop, this hand would have been easy, and I didn't play the flop very well either, but I still am hating this spot lately. I could post another 10 times where it's gone wrong just today. Didn't want to post something general about my weaknesses on 2+2 with the HU tourney going on, but I am kind of curious how people typically deal with this spot. The side-pot's a little atypical, but what about if it's just HU. What's your typical line with AA or KK on a flush draw board? A dry board? In position? Out of position? Just looking for some different approaches here.
