There are no pat answers to your question,the first question is what kind of image you project and how do they read you? second if you bet straight out ,will they want to commit chips over the top to see if they can get you to drop the hand If the flop is qqj do you really want to commit with an overpair on the flop and fold to a raise or check call and have them wonder if your slow playing or possibly get lucky and hit your overpair on the turn. This is poker also why position is so important, but depending how you read situation and players amount of chips your willing to commit each situation is different, sometimes needs to be played one way ,at times another each one could be considered correct or wrong for that situation. good luck
