Is this just bad luck?

In my opinion (responding before looking at other replies) I typically would not play these hands, except the big blind hand.

You get two pair, but hands two and three are well coordinated for big hands of flushes or the single card straight! Much to strong for you to take your two pair to the river with.

These are examples of why you typically don't play these hands, but will play A9o from the Button, and almost always attempt to steal while holding it.
