Down 13 buy ins in 24h/1,600 hands - probs not just bad beats. What leaks are in these spots?

Please be brutally honest. I think I have a decent idea what I did wrong but I would appreciate feedback too.

Pacific Poker - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 playersHand converted by PokerTracker 4BB: 41.88 BBUTG: 101.12 BBMP: 39.84 BBCO: 354.68 BBHero (BTN): 106.84 BBSB: 102.8 BBSB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BBPre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 5 5 fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.48 BB, SB raises to 8.96 BB, fold, Hero calls 6.48 BBFlop: (18.92 BB, 2 players) J T 9 SB bets 93.84 BB and is all-in, Hero call

This might be one of the biggest punts I’ve ever seen tbqh. Calling off 55 to a 5x overbet jam on that board is completely insane. Villain having Kd6d is like the best case scenario and they still have you crushed

I would suggest moving down to the lowest stake possible to develop your game, unless of course torching $500-$1000 a month is nbd for you

The main issue here is that you want to both bet big with marginal hands into and make very light calls against strong ranges - learn to check and fold more, especially when out of position, and watch your EV line go up
