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

yeah getting your money in as a 90/10 favourite is terrible and should be avoided

Wow yeah, if you're that readable that he can ask you if you have KK or AA, you're doing it wrong.

Raise more hands if that's the problem.
