Double suited

Hello all, this is my 1st post . I vistited HardRock Tampa and had to post about the insanity in that room. Played total of 24 hrs last week in both there straight 2 dollar and 1,2 dollar format. I have been playing BM in AC and Foxwoods for about a year at 3-6 and 4-8 limits and have had very good results by playing SSHE (Low Limit Bible)T/A. Anyway played in Tampa at this carnival room and could not get anywhere (down about 50BB) for the trip. 8 to the flop 5 to the river. The big cards did not stand up to the draws. My suited conectors hit the flop few and far between. 5 2 offsuit beat my aces on a wheel straight on river and so on it went. I won a few pots with TPTK but not a lot. People were playing all hands. I thought this to be a good thing, but at this level and format I found it could not be won on this outing. I am wondering what were my mistakes that I made during this trip. I played my small pairs(limping) for the flop (if missed on the flop I would fold to a raise). Raising with my big pairs playing my suited conectors but didnt get hit on the flop that much. I played mostly for fun at this level, as I know its very hard to make any money here. I thought about playing insane like the other 9 players at the table(sat in on many different tables) but didnt want to pick up any bad habits. Any advice on the mistakes I made would be appreciated as I am always trying to learn from past mistakes. Thankyou all.
