Default Pre flop raising question

My stats are currently around 14/3.8/3.5 I currently have been playing NL10 moving from Limit poker last month. (See below for why my pf raising is lower)

I feel I play a tight game pf but I have a problem... I seem to play close to what starting charts suggest and I understand the reasons for the suggestions. But these charts were written for average+ games I assume and my problem is I am a little lost when it comes to how to raise in a microlimit game.

I see people with stats like 20/10 and I have no idea how this could work at a level like .05/.10. You will get callers and you will get called down by junk so it seems our cbets when we miss the flop (and we will alot raising 10% of the time) will get no respect and we are just throwing money away.

My strategy for NL10 has been to get in cheaply in as many pots as I can with hands like PP's (JJ or lower), SC and Axs, and I have been avioiding easily dominated hands like ATos unless it's folded to me on the button or something. I do understand why I would raise with JJ or TT but when I get callers (and I will) and overcards comes > 50% of the time it becomes hard to know when they are calling because they have you beat vs calling because they are donks. If I cbet the flop and check the turn, I am just asking for a raise I can't call. This is why I have switched to set mining with them.

Any thoughts on adjusting strategy to NL10 games is appreciated. FTP seems to be a good mix of idiots, tricky players and tight players trying to clear the bonus.
