Default How do I combat light re-raises?

How do I exploit a player who re-raises lightly?

Say he is a decent aggressive opponent, whom I've seen re-raise me in position with 66 and Axs.

then 4bet all in on him lighter preflop or tighten up ur original raising range, so that you are willing to shove it in if he reraises (TT, AQ+ only)

Okies, so say I am facing a lightly re-raising villain and I pick up AQo and make it $35 in the cut-off in a $5/$10 game.

If villain pops it to $120, it seems like a high variance break even scenario at best to push with $1.000 behind.

I wouldn't have any qualms pushing with QQ+ and AK, but putting in an entire buy-in with TT and AQ seems risky.

Calling or re-raising to something like $350 doesn't sound like good options either. How about leaving the table, perhaps the most profitable option?

there's a couple of select way too overaggro guys at 5-10 on stars that 3bet with an enormous range that i do this to constantly. they still never learn. its such an easy way to exploit them and its definitly a +$ move longterm.

its so much better than 4betting preflop as that lets them away too cheaply.
