Default Could I have saved myself?

These are two consecutive hands. This guy should have paid me off twice in a row with horrible hands, instead, after winning this pot that should have coasted him to the final table he went out in about ten minutes. Im wondering if anyone thinks I should have played either hand differently being a medium-short stack and also how to handle amazing beats like this. Kings have held only about 1/4 of the time since i started playing at ftp and every time it's been something ridiculous. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes you have to go through spells of what seem like horrible beats, but it is just part of the game, and what makes online poker more exciting than live poker.
