You played both hands fine. If your downswings consists of bad beats like this, you should be happy.

In my experience the worst thing you could do now is let these beats affect your game. I had a nasty downswing in January that started with a series of bad beats just like yours. They cost me a few buy-ins. Then i began to doubt my game, started to make random adjustments, and ended up with a terrible month. The bulk of the losses came after the streak of bad luck had ended.

If these beats bother you, move down. Play ABC poker. Don't try to force things just because you feel you have to "do something". Then, when you feel your game coming back, look at the losing hands in the downswing. Identify the bad beats and forget about them. Learn from the others.

Bad beats, after all, are just rake. Only less predictable.
