NL25 6 max: KK is my biggest loser

[96roadster]

I realize its short therm (5000 hands) but so far KK is my biggest loser at stars NL25. Im thinking its just variance but wanted to post a few hands for comments.

hand 1: Im wondering about my pre flop play, should I raise more or is $2.50 enough? And then on the flop, im pretty sure i'm beat when he raises it to $20, but at that point I have odds to draw to a boat?

Hand 2: I was really lost on this hand, same question about pf, but also wondering how my flop play is. When the shortie goes all in should I have raised more or is it enough. Or should I find a fold in there?

both hands look fine to me

dont b so results oriented. make sure u r playin right (which i do the same on both hands so these 2 arent a problem)

but in 5k hands if u gt sucked out on in 2 or 3 pots it will make a HUGE difference and prolly the cause

looks like the reraise pf in hand 2 is a little light, or am i miscounting? A pot size reraise looks to me like $3.25 or so, but apart from that they both look fine.
