Overpair facing aggression on paired board

Actually i shove big hands all the time versus the right player. People who think big bets are always bluffs are very easy to exploit. In some cases i don't even need that big of hand to value shove. Just yesterday i happily shoved TPGK on the flop. Why because i was playing a drooler who calls shoves with any peace of the board. Of coarse he sucked out on me but that's not the point. As for the hand i would call. While i think it's silly to think a big bet is always a bluff i think it is a bluff enough of the time for this to be a call. Also villain is likely to think JJ and QQ is da nuts on a board like in the op.
