Why am I even wasting my time playing in some of these tournaments? A typical example was last night's Mookie. We were still in the first hour, but a few draws didn't pan out and I was down to 1,660 chips. I limped in if I had a small pocket pair, but otherwise I folded, so it's not like I was bluffing to get chips. I picked up J-J in the small blind. Loretta8 was on the button. He had been either raising on the button to take down unraised pots, or sometimes folding.

So let's see ... I was waiting for my chance and went all in. Loretta8 started with 2850 and had committed 300. He then calls off an additional 1,360 (48%) of his chips with a crap hand like A-9sooted -- which is only destroyed by, let's see ... A-A, K-K, Q-Q, J-J, 10-10, 9-9, A-K, A-Q, A-J, A-10 ... only to hit a three-outer on the river.
Just as I was ready to leave, I saw Mr. Poker Blogger Analyst himself say, "nh." Really? I mean ... really???
So ... these last two nights I lose to guys who shove with K-10os and A-9sooted. They didn't have their backs against the wall - they just did it. What a freakin' horror show.

i got donkeypunched and booted outta the mOOk also. but, i go in expecting it so i'm not too surprised when it occurs.
it was a similar situation as you, button vs blind. some guys will raise the button with any Ace and call an all-in from a blind push thinking it's patented re-steal.
It's always a good idea to encourage bad play, even if you've just been monkey-tilted ;)
Better luck in the future, buddy!
