FYP.

Its limit and he's 3-betting with a baby suited connector. I'm totally missing something here.

spewing? should the button have just folded preflop? assuming you deem it ok for him to see the flop given his position ... is there THAT big of a difference between calling 2-bets vs. putting in one extra bet and potentially putting everyone else in the hand on their heels for at least one round of betting?

i'm not advocating this play 100% of the time but i do see it as a valid way of varying one's play, particularly in light of his position.

I would play the cards all day long, but I would just call with thm, and close the action. Of course, I wouldn't be that liberal with ako either, but who knows...

Given the right table conditions I would do this play in limit, but only if I would be sure that the two opponents would "understand" the strength of my hand when I 3-bet into a raiser and cold caller. Either he had good enough read or he was lucky. Remember that your play can be a steal with crap if he has noticed that you have noticed that the BB is very tight. If he has noticed that the cold caller has noticed that you steal from this BB-guy a lot he can think that the CO gets angry about your steals (since it destroys his ability to steal) and thus button might think that CO might cold call with a mediocre hand using position against you.

You should not play predictably if your opponents are sentient, and if there is the slightest possibility that they have an attention span of more than a nanosecond.

What does this have to do with Party tournaments?

fair enough but that reminds me of another point ... this occurred very early in the tournament when it was relatively cheap for the button to pull off a play like this.

assuming that his opponents are sentient beings (big assumption, granted) and the table doesn't break for a while (a decent assumption in a limit tourney), i think the risk/reward ratio for this play is pretty good if it leads to getting monsters paid off down the line when the limits are higher and pots are larger.
