Playing smaller stack
If you are able to fold top pair/overpair and feel like you are being exploited for it, consider buying in for 60bb. I tried this by moving up a limit and it seemed to work (in the short run). Here's what I did:
I normally play $10NL. I moved up to $25NL and boght in for $15. I adjusted my preflop play by increasing my raise size from 4bb to 6bb and played mostly big cards (AK, AQ, AA-QQ). I folded mid-small pocket pairs unless I thought I could see a flop for 1bb. With AK, AQ, AA-QQ, I raised to 6bb preflop. By getting 10% of my stack in preflop, I set up a 4.5:1 stack-to-pot ratio since my stack was $5.40 and the pot was usually around $1.20-$1.35 (HU). I then proceeded with pot sized bets without reguard to being outdrawn by sets and 2 pairs. If I was outdrawn by a set, then villian was paying too much to set-mine.
