50NL - aces, but they all think I'm a maniac

[Galwegian]

OK - i'm really only interested in the last of these three hands but I have to explain the context. I sat down at the table, check folded my first two hands in the blinds and then these three hands were my 3rd, 4th and 5th hands after sitting down. So I think I prob have a maniacal image at this point. Given these slightly unusual circumstances, how should I play my aces?

Don't like that line too much, you should ve raised the flop IMO and call a push.

? But I have the nut flush draw along with my overpair. I want him to make his flush, but I don't want to call all in against a made flush

[AlexB182]

And what do you achieve by shoving when the board pairs and you could easily by drawing very thin against a boat?
If villains really think you're a maniac, they could call you down with hands as weak as QsQx, KsTx etc when you push on the flop .Just think that turn card was a bad one for shoving...

Raising flop here is good.
