That doesn't make it tough. That makes it really easy. Against players who are good bluffers (that is, good enough that it's not easy for me to passively call them down because they bluff too much), I sometimes like to force them into more multi-way pots where they either can't use their bluffing skill or they fail to compensate and end up making the mistake of bluffing too much.
AQo I raise maybe half the time, 88 I sometimes raise with the intention of my raise being a pot-builder that I expect to be called. The other hands, I just call with. Basically, in this spot, I would probably only raise with the hands where I am not unhappy if everyone calls the raise and I raise an amount where I don't set up a player who has at least around the same stack as me in a good situation to make a pot-sized shove (or a bet that effectively puts me all-in) on the flop that puts me in a difficult position if I flop top pair.
