$.05/.10 FL HE Full Ring: AKs overpair on flop at FL micros - fold this hand?

I've been trying to plug a leak of mine which I'm sure many newbies like me have -- playing overcards on the flop. After losing too many hands with them, recently I've been trying to fold overcards ... unless they are 1) huge suited hole like this one, 2) I'm in position, and 3) I'm only facing 1-2 opponents. That's sound reasoning, no? Let me know if that strategy is even too loose.

Anyhow I can't exactly call this a bad beat, but I'm not sure if I should have seen this through to the showdown. Keep in mind that this villain is an agro player, and I turned a flush AND straight draw and these are. (Plus these are micolimits). Should I lay down these kind of hands:

full tilt poker $0.05/$0.10 Limit Hold'em - 9 players

Pre Flop: (2.4 SB) Hero is UTG+2 with A

I'll be the first to say this: Whatever the hand converter you used, it isnt showing the actual bet sizes. I think this is important in working with the hand.

I cap preflop.

As played, I'm fine just check/folding the flop though a call is not terrible. We face potential reverse domination issues if AT and AJ are in BB or MP1's range and we don't close the action. Furthermore, There is no card we really want to see other than a Q.

As played, we have to call the turn. We just picked up a bunch of outs to the nut flush and we are getting odds to call.

I call the river. I'm all for being aggressive but I don't like the river raise. What hands in villain's range do we beat that barrel the river? Not many.

FL likes min bets.

OOOHHH...hehe, egg on my face. I did not look at the FL. So, I apologize, excuse my ignorance, and...unfortunately I have no worthy opinion here, I have never played FL and anything I could say would be coming from total ignorance.

apologies.

big slick likes to see all cards so playing till the end isn't horrible. Don't like the river raise. all you can beat is AQ or maybe KJ

It's been awhile since I played LHE, but capping preflop is definitely correct and I think raising the flop is correct, too. The hand plays out quite differently after that so it's hard to say exactly what I'd have done on the turn, but if he 3-bets the flop I'm probably not capping. If he just calls the flop raise and checks to me on the turn, I'm betting (we have at least some fold equity) and if called, I'm betting this river. If he check/raises the turn, I'm calling down (although bet/calling this river if checked to).
