Damned if I do....

Okay, two hands from PP 33's last night.
Some might construe the second as a bad beat, but really, I'm wondering if I just screwed up.

Suits are irrelevant, stack sizes from memory

1st hand, 4 players on bubble BB is 200, which I post
Button has 700 left, I've got 1500 and the two big stacks are sitting this out

Button raises to 500
I've got 99.
my read on button is better then any random two. he's relatively tight (too tight for bubble play IMO). He's got a crappy ace or two broadway. I figure that I can't call, because more than half the flops will have some paint or ace, and I'd be pot committed anyways. I know I have no FE left, so do I push and take the inevitable coinflip? Just looking to confirmt that there is no other choice.

Hand 2, again i'm BB, posting 200.
Button (~2500t) flat calls-no real reads, not a donkey
SB calls 100t, leaving him 360- huge donkey, should have busted long ago
I've got 950 after posting and K3

Flop K,3,4
SB bets out 200t (pair of fours is my guess, leaving himself 160t
???? wtf
I push my last 950t, button calls and SB folds
button has KJ, J on turn, mocking K on river and I'm out.
I can handle the beat, but the fact that the SB managed to make the money left me wondering if I screwed up.
Should i have just reraised to get him all-in, and expect the button to not come over the top? Assuming the button pushes, and again the SB folds, do you call with 600t left?
Or do you just chalk it up to bad luck and move on?

Confused.
