Default 2 Hands I\'d like Opinions on

Hand #1:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter

Button (t520)
Hero (t1840)
BB (t6295)
UTG (t940)
MP (t3905)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1840</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t1540.

Flop: (t3830) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t3830) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t3830) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t3830

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
MP has Th Ts (one pair, tens).
Hero has Qs Ac (high card, ace).
Outcome: MP wins t3830. </font>
I'm wondering if going all-in, after a larger stacks min raises was a bad idea given the fact there are 2 short stacks at the table.
Was this push stardard?

Hand #2:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter

CO (t2455)
Hero (t920)
SB (t1840)
BB (t1685)
UTG (t5245)
MP (t1355)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t920</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t720.

Flop: (t1940) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t1940) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t1940) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1940

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has Kd Ac (one pair, kings).
Hero has 2s 2d (one pair, twos).
Outcome: BB wins t1940. </font>

I'm in push/fold mode, and pretty desperate at this point with only 4.5XBB. Is 22 too weak here or was it a case of good push/bad results?

Both are standard pushes.

Both seem good. I like the first push in this case (big stacks who double don't seem to usually have monsters), though if the short stacks were much shorter I'd prefer a fold.
