Most ridiculous SNG hand I've seen in a while.

So I'm about to fold AK, then I remember that I am playing a 5.50 table (bankroll took a huge hit on a string of bad beats and I need to rebuild) and I think, hmm I bet they all have crappy aces or two face cards. Watch this:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t1440)
MP1 (t1160)
MP2 (t380)
MP3 (t1920)
CO (t2400)
Button (t1310)
SB (t2350)
Hero (t1500)
UTG (t1040)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG raises to t120, 1 fold, MP1 raises to t210, 1 fold, MP3 calls t210, 3 folds, Hero raises to t1500, UTG calls t920 (All-In), MP1 calls t950 (All-In), MP3 calls t1290.

Flop: (t5215) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: (t5215) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t5215) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t5215

Results in white below: 
Hero has Kh Ac (one pair, twos).
UTG has Kd Qd (one pair, twos).
MP1 has Ad 3h (one pair, twos).
MP3 has Jc Ah (one pair, twos).
Outcome: Hero wins t5215. 

Yes, that's right, he re-raised with A3os.

I was left with a blank face after this hand was over.

Seeing such horrible poker play (myself included), made me cry. Or was I not wrong? I thought I had a pretty decent read on this uber loose, aggressive table.

How can we say you are wrong to go allin with AK when you get called by KQ, A3 and AJ.

very slight favorite. I think the reraise all in was a bad play because this is about as good as it can get for you. Most of the time with a raise, a reraise and a call you are going to be facing a pair and a couple of your outs will be in ohter peoples hands. And I don't expect a lot of folds to you all in at this level.

I see you learned to play that Ace-King from Houston.

ok ok its not greatest spot ever.

I guess I got lucky. I went on to easily win that one in about 20-30 minutes, so it was worth it in the end, I suppose.
