Default am i playing this incorrectly? it\'s cost me alot of money lately

when I go to the B&M i'm usually in tight/weak mode preflop

i'm normally playing on only 1 or 2 buy-ins and this is way over my head for playing cuz i have to play super squeaky midget tight on 1/2 NL 100max

in loose games where there's normally an open raise every hand (and people i know who are higher stakes regs) i like to limp fold EP w/ suited aces and mid pairs and i use these weak moves to set up check raises w/ AA and KK preflop ... and i think my bet sizes price people in and pretty much force a call. anyway, here's the actions... i need to see if any of this needs tweaked, so let me know suggestions...

UTG dealt KsKc, i limp for $2...
UTG+1 raises to 7, 2 cold calls, MP3 raises to 17... folded around to me... i bet 51 (half of my 101 stack) ... guy who is high stakes regular (5/10 NL) for this casino asks me if i have AA or KK again cuz he's saw me do this 2 or 3 times w/ those hands on the table... i give off a false tell of weakness (shifting in chair uneasy a bit) he cold calls AK...after some thought

flop Js 10c 4s...
he checks to me... i bet 25 and he C/R's me AI... which is instacall... and i lose to A on river

Same thing happened before... 100 stack UTG limp w/ AA, call call call call call call call and the aggro big blind predictably put in his raise against a field of limpers to 17 which was bigger than the norm of 12. i bet 50 (half of my 100) and flop is 10 5 3 ... he checks from SB i bet 50 into 100 and give him 3/1 and calls w/ JJ and turns set.

this sounds like it should be BBV but am i doing anything wrong here? should i really just be pushing these for 6-7 bet raises preflop or is my action gathering bet right?

i've tightened up alot from what i used to play and it seems like i'm worse off b/c of it. i'm running bad lately and it sucks when i borrow 100 or 200 to play and lose it to stuff like this
