Gross hand, but how did you end up with only 2 BB?

Hand before, AQh < JJ aipf. I hit the A on the flop, J on the turn to crush me. Guy was shoving every 3rd hand, like clockwork, when we were on the final table bubble (he was at the other table, which I had open to see if I could pick up anything). This was 3 hands into final table and he was the button, with no one in it, so I figured he was full of shit lol.

In high school, it was all the rage to have buttons on your jean jacket with bands, or slogans, or whatever . . . my favourite said the following:

There is no gravity, the Earth SUCKS !!!
