I wouldn't have called an all in with KJ in the first hand. Any ace and he is likely to have this. Also, it's not too much of an advantage over any other hands that he will push in with either unless, of course, it is luckily dominated. You have enough chips to fold a few marginal hands. I'd rather be putting the other guy all in with small edges than calling with small edges because of the fold equity. As for the 88, you just got unlucky.
