Not trying to flame. I just think you are missing a lot of value by either limping (giving everyone essentially a free chance to outdraw you preflop), or overbetting preflop (to avoid bad beats from loose fish). When you limp, they don't make a mistake when their 33 or A5 outflops your KK. And, by raising to 150 or something, they will end up correctly folding. You want to induce mistakes from the bad players.

Seems like you have suffered some unfortunate bad beats, and you're letting that effect your strategy. There are times to slowplay AA-KK early (either not reraise or limp), but usually you need a solid reads and the proper table image and situation.
