One thing I've noticed playing my own Jhoira deck is that she scares the crap out of people and draws all of the bad attention your way very quickly. I've started to take out some of my huge bombs in favor for more counterspells to protect Jhoira and effective blockers like {fog bank} to protect me while I wait for suspend to tick away.

i mean I got a lot of counters as is :x

True, but think of it this way. Not only do you need counterspells to stop the removal, but when you suspend something like Kozilek, everyone sees it coming. And when suspend is up, you are casting it, so others can counter it themselves - so you need to have counters ready to counter their counters. It's crazy.

Its just what seems to happen to Jhoira decks in my experience - the good news is that once you get through with just one or two successfull suspends, the game suddenly sways heavy in your favor.  I've nicknamed my Jhoira deck "The Comeback Kid"

what would you suggest?

{Fog Bank}, {Wall of Frost}, and stuff like that make for good time-buyers. {Archaeomancer} and {Mnemonic Wall} are very useful too, allowing for a chump block and a retrieval of on of your counters or card draw spells.

As for counters, anything that can potentially be repeatable is super useful. {Ertai, Wizard Adept} is quite an irritating fellow for your opponents. Buyback with {Forbid} when you're set on cards and {Spell Burst} when you're set on mana are both very useful.  {Counterflux} is a good one in multiplayer too.
