$10 Sit N Go on Full Tilt
I was on the button with AKo. Some dude in middle position raised 4x BB to 480. I re-raised to 900.
He goes all in. He is loose so I call. He had TJo.
I figure I am on my way to a huge chip lead right?
Flop had a J, Turn had a T, River had a J for the Full Boat.
It was such a horrible play all I could do was write his name down and I will look for him every time I play.
He defines Donkey.

you failed to mention a lot here
such as, what the stack sizes were
how many people were left
what were the blinds im guessing they were either 80/160 or 120/240
Keep in mind that AK is still a drawing hand and can very easily be beaten

This is pretty meaningless/pointless/useless .

You were barely a 63% favorite.
I wouldn't figure anything with that slim lead preflop.

I'm almost convinced 9Ts just posted that to make my eyes bleed ;P
And anyway, the fun part about these SNG things, is that stack sizes will determine how 'bad' his push really was. Given that nobody has that many chips in these things, it's quite conceivable that after you re-raised, pushing may be a close decision, or even the obviously correct play.
I also hope you both had pretty large stacks, if you were actually having doubts on whether or not to call.

Pushing with J10 is a good play, only a donkey would pay him off with only A high K kicker.
Hello. He had a full house.

Am pretty sure Exit was being funny.
As for the hand - yeah, without knowing the stack it is a little hard to judge, but , seems to me like you mini raised him. Which actually made his play not that bad , he had to put 450 into a 1300 pot. being only a real dog to Q's to A's you gave him odds to call. And with pushing he might thought he could take the pot.
If you reraise it should be more, something like 3X his raise. The only reason to min raise is for value.
