Well, not what I wanted, at all. 139th out of 175. Two suckouts and I'm out. I thought both were appropriate plays, just bad luck. Here's all 6 hands that I played. Give me your thoughts. Anything anyone would have done different?

So, how did I do? I thought this was just a case of bad luck. Looking back, I did have the loose call with K9 that ended up costing me quite a bit, and then the KJ. But I see a lot of people playing these hands for cheap and then getting away after the flop. Am I too loose with these plays?
