Running bad

I am running so badly this evening. I keep finding myself in hands where I have the best of it, only to get done ont he river. Every single time. It has got to the stage now where when the river pops I am expecting to lose. Sick sick sick. These are just a few of the hands from this evening. All games range from €3 to €10 and are five seater SnGs:

Here I had an A and thought I could get the table to fold. Winning the dead money would push me up 50%. Why am I being called by QT out of position?

Here are two back to back hands. OK, so I let them catch both times, but had I played it more aggressively I'd still probably have been called:

In this first one, the river brings his two-outter.

This one I reckon I lost the minimum from the turn onwards. Should I have reraised more on the flop? I don't think I could have taken him off his 7 high flush draw though cos of the straight flush potential. He was getting pot odds of 2/1 for roughly a 2/1 chance of winning (12 outs twice). I should have taken it to 360 I think.
