The way you bet and the table image you will have means you will only be raised by a hand that beats TPTK or a big overpair MOST of the time.

Not if you c-bet 100% of heads-up pots.

Here are some examples. You raise preflop with KK and get 3 callers, the flop is J high, you bet ½ the pot and someone raises. You fold...

You have AK and raise preflop. The flop is K high. You bet ½ the pot on the flop and get called. The turn is a random card. You bet ½ the pot again and your opponent pushes. FOLD.

Stacks sizes in those situations (and in truth ANY situations) play huge role.
$25 tables, someone has 50-70BB behind and probably makes a stand, makes free-card move, feels up his QQ or something else. Overpair stand a lot more pressure on that texture. 100BB behind or more it's more poker to play, but mucking it right after single flop raise is weakass especially against someone who is likely to be pissed off after being isolated and c-bet off most pots. The more you c-bet, the wider range is going to play back at you on the flop.
Second situation: Again, stack sizes. The power of "all-In" is dependent of stacks sizes (it's obvious for us but may not be obvious to some random dude that will start to incorrectly fold his TPTK against somebody who goes all-In with 30BB behind and hoping for the best with his KJ).
A lot of my profits is from 3-bet and drop the hammer my overpairs and busting top pairs & aggros with draws. Performance Poker player c-bets a lot of pots, bluffs with overs all the time, isolates other players and should really loosen up against flop raisers, that are more likely to play back at c-bettor, than be stronger than overpair.
However, it's different when you don't c-bet so much, are known to check down missed overs and second pairs head-up, and bet the flop only after hitting it hard or having at least overpair to flop. Then, if some thinking, deep stacked player will pop you on flop (knowing you are super-nit that bets ONLY with a hand), it's much stronger and one pair hands are in trouble more frequently.
