Default confidence shot by bad beats - what to do?

After finishing in the money 40% of the time in my first 40 SNG's I haven't had a top 3 for 8 SNG's now. Been busted or crippled by people calling all in with draws/nothing and catching miracles. Feeling like I am turning into a calling station, which sucks. I know bad beats are part of the game but a week straight, how do you recover? Bank roll is taking a beating. I've even moved down in buy-in's. Here's an example hand. Got to know if I should do something different. Is there any way to keep people with these hands from calling a bet....maybe just go all-in? Any way I put him on that kind of a hand after calling a big pre-flop raise?

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t10 (9 handed)

Button (t1565.00)
Hero (t875.00)
BB (t740.00)
UTG (t1112.00)
UTG+1 (t1067.00)
MP1 (t1410.00)
MP2 (t1301.00)
MP3 (t945.00)
CO (t985.00)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of t10.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls t20, <font color="CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to t70</font>, BB calls t50, UTG+1 calls t50, Button calls t50.

Flop: (t280) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, Button calls t200.

Turn: (t680) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t605</font>, Button calls t605.

River: (t1890) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1890

Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows Qc Qs (two pair, queens and sevens).
Button shows 6s 7d (full house, sevens full of sixes).
Outcome: Button wins t1890. </font>
