I'm not really card dead, but dealt QQ raise standard on tight table, AK9 on flop, opponent leads out or check raises. Dealt AK, 267 flop. I c-bet 1/2 pot but am raised 90% of the time. I like calling standard raises with small pocket pairs, but seem to only hit a set about every 25-30 flops and it usually shows flush draw or flush and I have to just win whats in the pot. I play suited connectors when I have the chips, but they just seem to bleed to my chips away. Any tips??

Should average out to 1 in 8 times you'll flop a set, though of course the odds can run longer or shorter over a short amount of monitored hands. Doesn't sound like you doing anything wrong based on your 2 hands you posted, but you just not having a lot of luck maybe. We all have bad days, or even weeks, but you just got to ride it out and keep playing good poker and wait for it to sort itself out in the long run.
