Default Stud stats - are these cold cards or typical?

I had a sense that I have hit a run of cold cards, so I have started to keep detailed stats of my hands. For the past week or so, I have been averaging 79% unplayable hands on third street. By unplayable I mean no flush draw, no pairs worth keeping (small - mid pairs, where one is dead or there is no decent overcard, or both) - usually just three unrelated cards. Of my opening hands ( the last 21%), only 9% or so are playable to the end.

I do a reasonable amount of semi-bluffing, and I think I am a somewhat aggressive player. I'm not waiting for the perfect hand, by any means. The net result is that I am only winning about 5.5% of the hands I am playing. The other interesting number is that duiring this cold spell, I am winning 55 - 65% of the hands I compete for. The thing is, I don't compete for many, so making any money is a real chore.

Are these really cold cards like I think, or are these typical numbers? The ante alone is costing me a fair bit of money with these stats.
