Being able to change how you play entirely is crucial for short handed play against tough players. It's also important to remember that tough players can be exploited more readily than some fish, if you can manage to ascertain their hand strength with accuracy. Tough aggressive players will be more likely to put a lot of money in the pot than a weak tight fish, even if the weak tight fish is easier to beat in the long run. There are basically two ways to adapt to light re-raises : folding and 4 betting / 5 betting. Folding is a good option against a rock, but if you are being targetted with light three bets you will have to 4 bet / 5 bet hands like AK and QQ, and if they are extremely loose with their preflop aggression JJ and 1010 as well. Against total maniacs your range opens up more.
Bet sizing should remain roughly consistent with 2-3x raise amounts. When faced with “do you call a push” you will have to evaluate as best as you can. 4 bet / folding or 5 bet / folding are generally pretty terrible ideas, but with the right read are possible. The decision between the 4 bet / 5 bet and the all in push is important and very much player specific. The decision between 4 betting and folding is much more difficult. Your default for everything but KK and AA should be fold, with perhaps QQ and AK thrown in depending on the game texture. If it is very wild someone could be making a stand with JJ quite easily. Some players also slowplay AA when they are reraised but this only really makes sense if you never 4bet/5bet which is terrible strategy.
