Default Getting value from low-mid pocket pairs

General question..

I've been playing pocket pairs in almost any position, assuming I could get in cheap and the opponents effective stacks have been reasonable (10x or more the bet to me)

However, I've found very few occasions where they are making me very much money.

What I've been doing-

Dry flops:
Out of position - against a tight opponent, will just bet the flop. Against an aggro opponent who I know will bet their position, I will check/call.
In position - will call a bet to me, and then re-raise their turn bet

Draw heavy flops:
Out of position- I will fire a PSB immediately
In position - will immediately reraise their bet

What else can I do to get the most money out of these pockets? I think most of the value comes from people with overpairs (AA,KK).

The table sees me as pretty tight, so anyone with just top pair will almost always fold to a reasonable sized raise.
