Are these bad beats or did I get out of line here.

Final table of an Omaha H/L FTOPS qualifier. Started w/ 54. Top 2 get a ticket to the big event. I'd say that I've played maybe about 10 Omaha H/L MTT's in my life so I'm not sure about these hands. If this belongs in the MTT section, please move it.

Hand 1: I do want to reraise to isolate him with this hand, don't I?

Hand 2: This was the one where I was supposed to knock out shortie in 3rd and punch my ticket. Did I overplay this shorthanded? Should I want to throw up or kick myself? By the way, shortie went on a run and won 2 big pots from the big stack after this and I go completely cold decked and bubbled. I'm pretty disgusted right now.

Hand 1: Played perfectly.

Hand 2: KKhxss is not a great hand by any stretch, but given the short stack the play looks reasonable. You were only 45/55 dog pre-flop, so you just need to learn how to win some coin-flips.

Yeah that 2nd hand I figured that 3 handed I had to push him in there. Chance he folds, if he calls and doesn't have an Ace then I'm in good shape, or it's a coin flip. Wow, 2 hours later and I'm still pretty bummed. Chip and a chair. Might watch the thing anyway and root against the two of them

hand 2... with the short stack just posting 30% of his stack in the big blind, wouldn't it make more sense to limp in order to encourage the small blind to come along so you guys can team up to bust the short stack?
