Yeah, I've also noticed that in low buy-in MTT's (and SnG's) that people will push first hand with almost anything. Ax, small pocket pairs, KQ, QJ.

I still think your mistake was calling rather than raising on the flop, then you could have folded on the turn if your hand did not improve and you put your man on an A when he bets out at you.
