What should I have done different

[GaF]

Was around 12th of 15 in tonights Poker cruise for the two hands below - not desperate, but needing to increase my stack ......... did I go with the wrong hand? What could/should I have done different? Both hands I made a relatively small bet, then faced a reraise - first one had a lot of draws, but put it down, second one had my 99 v 2 overcards so I got my coin flip .... should I have bet bigger? Should I have laid both hands down? Should I have gambled with my draw? Top 6 get equal prizes to next round. Interested to read your thoughts
