Since it was a cash game, you know that you could reach into your pocket at anytime.  You don't have to stick to your initial buy-in, wait to lose it, then re-load.  You can beef up your stack to the table max buy-in at anytime.  And you are also free to leave the game with whatever you have left of your buy-in at any time.  Playing short-stacked at a cash game, especially a NL cash game, is a recipe for disaster. 
[I]I say this because I had a bad habit of doing this too at the casinos.  After losing a big pot or a several small pots, continuing to play with short chips in front of me even though I had additional buy-in's in my wallet.  Playing too long after taking a beat to try to recoup my losses.  And playing too long after winning a big hand when the table is very loose and beats are being handed out every other hand. [/I]
Those hands were bad beats.  And for some damn reason, they seem to come in bunches.  But I'm sure you have heard that these are the kind of players we want to see at the tables.  They will lose more than they win. 
On your last hand with AKo, I think you would have been better served going all-in first rather than check-raising.  Since he bet $0.80 on the flop, making the pot $1.65, then you came over the top for $2.10, it only cost him $1.30 more into a pot of $3.75 or a slightly less than 3:1 pot odds. 
But I think the main thing that may have saved you here would have been to have a deeper stack, so that you could make a much larger re-raise to get him off his draw. 
Better luck next time! :cool: 
 
And don't give up on the cash games.  But taking a break from them for a while never hurts.
