Default I hate getting minraised NL5

How in the world do you deal with the guys who always minraise your C-bets on scary boards? I'm playing pretty TAG and so far I have had to lay down a few hands due to facing aggression, so my image may be a little weak-tight. Anyway, I would say that the players are reacting to me by playing pretty loose preflop, not because they don't notice that I'm tight, but they are sure that they would at least get a C-bet out if they flop big, possibly more because I"m sure they notice that I make "big" pot-sized bets.

Anyway, how could I have played these? Both hands are against the same person.

This hand happened before the next one.

I don't really know where to start. But I think that the correct play is to not C-bet on boards that are unlikely to hit my range when it seems obvious that the opponent has a clue that I C-bet close to 100% pots. And on the other hand, I would need to find spots that I could double barrel. They do not always have a monster hand do they? Should I play hand kind of trickily to let em know that a check on the flop means (Edit: means I'm not weak) I'm weak?

Also, could it just be negative variance or something?
