WWYD: Overpair in a sticky situation

I haven't played online cash games this year at all, but I've been meaning to get back on the horse. So last night I decided to warm up with some 6max NL10. This one hand made me think:

***** Hand History for Game 26425597398 *****
$10.00 USD NL Texas Hold'em - Friday, March 27, 03:08:28 ET 2009
Table Pumma V (Real Money)
Seat 2 is the button
Seat 1: Boterkooper ( $12.95 USD )
Seat 2: Zomaril ( $4.90 USD )
Seat 3: hero ( $8.55 USD )
Seat 4: villain ( $11.10 USD )
Seat 5: blackevil666 ( $14.80 USD )
Seat 6: Thois ( $10.00 USD )
hero posts small blind [$0.05 USD].
villain posts big blind [$0.10 USD].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to hero [ Qc Qd ]
blackevil666 folds
Thois folds
Boterkooper folds
Zomaril folds
hero raises [$0.35 USD]
villain calls [$0.30 USD]
** Dealing Flop ** [ 6h, Jh, Tc ]
hero bets [$0.65 USD]
villain raises [$1.80 USD]
hero seems puzzled...

Now the problem is, I don't have much of a read on this guy yet. He's been at the table about two orbits, and the only hand I noticed was where I raised pre, he 3bet IP, I made a bad call and then gave up to his c-bet on the flop. He seems tight and very aggressive, possibly with a wide 3betting range. I'm not committed on the flop, but I don't really want to let this guy keep running me over either... WWYD? Also, if this was NL100 with same relative stacks, would that change how you'd play it?

You are not yet committed no, but you need to be making a "committment plan" at this point. If you 4-bet villain here you WILL be committed, even if you call, you have put in about 1/4 of your stack so are nearing a committment threshold, and really have no idea where you are in the hand and OOP.

I think it is a raise or fold situation here. On this board, and against an aggressive villain, he has a very wide raising range, he could be driving an OESD or a Flush draw, or even just trying to protect his Top pair. With such a wide range I Shove it all in here.

He may have K's or A's or a flush draw. Betting into the K's or A's is suicide and not raising against a flush draw or top pair doesn't make you money either. Cash game......shove!

Really flatting with A's ir K's pre-flop from the BB?

Why wouldn't he? He's already heads-up so no need to raise (if he's sneaky). Buy I agree with you, that's why I also say shove against top pair/flush draw and hope he didn't set the K-or-A trap.
