When other players are missing and not pairing their big cards, I'm winning massive pots on the turn... often without improving. However, when people are ahead post flop, I usually get stuck since I now have the odds to call down or try to improve due to how much I have bloated the pot.

This is just a guess, but I think you might be taking this concept too far and calling down too much. Even if the pot is bloated, you're not usually going to have odds to call with a 2 or 3 outer, which is where you'll often be if you are behind with hands like KJs against QQ or AK. It's going to be a high-variance play style regardless, but if you can find just a few more spots to fold when you are way behind you could reduce your swings by a good bit.

Yeah... this is the weird double edge sword of this style of play.

Even though you get less people "pushing back" preflop... I find people betting weaker hands / draws post flop than they normally would. Due to this... I'm having a REALLY hard time assigning value to peoples hands.

A lot of times I've gone into default call down mode without thinking (with something like middle pair)... just to find out on the river I was either crushed (should have folded)... or way ahead (should have raised / charged draws more bets).

I guess it's just hard for me to adjust my preflop aggression with optimal post flop play.
