I fold the flop, but I think live in a game like this I pump it up more like $30-40 PF. I consistently raise it up $15-$20 in 1/2 games and get called the same as if I raised it $10. You accomplish two things, you might get a shorter stack to poosh, and the bigger stack now knows that it is going to take a big hand to play this big pot.
As played, I guess you gotta suck it up and just call, hope for a cheapish showdown or the board pairing.
