Default KQs behind a raise 4-handed after doubling up

The previous hand, i had doubled up with ATo against his A8o and he was pushing often. I wasn't sure whether to play more loosely because of his loss, or even to play KQ in this situation under these circumstances. Thoughts?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

Button (t4455)
Hero (t2710)
BB (t1410)
UTG (t1425)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t500</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t800

and the hand after, I get this. Am I playing too weakly?

Hand 1 is an easy fold. YOu don't want to play this out of position and this isn't exactly a great spot to push.

Hand 2 is a little tougher but it's still a fold IMO. Blinds left to act and there's a good chance one or both might go along for the ride, and then your hand looks weak.

I don't think folding either of these is a big mistake. It looks like big stack is doing his job right. I'd be inclined to play back with the KQs, but the shortness of the other two stacks means you're giving up a lot of equity if you do.

Hand 1 is an easy fold, in that position you don't want to be playing anything but an Ax+

I'm still thinking about Hand 2 myself.

hand 1 is a autofold. You're behind A2o.

hand 2 is a fold since you are #2 stack. you dont want to tangle with big stack over a coinflip (at best). i would need qq+, aq+ to call.
