I found pocket 10's just before the blinds got serious, and put in a standard raise, roughly 4 times the BB. Folded around to the SB who shoved all in with A10, and then the BB shoved with AQ. I pondered folding, but decided to make the call, and of course, meathead in the BB rivered the A and knocked me out.

Did he make a bad shove? Did I make a bad raise/call? Or was I playing with pinheads who think 2 paint cards are worth snap shoving?

Your open is way too big to start. Without seeing stack sizes/reads I couldn't really comment on the play.

As mentioned above, we'd need positions, stack sizes, reads and everything else to make some meaningful comments.

I will suggest this though: if you've got enough chips that you can be open raising rather than open shoving, then you've probably got enough chips to fold against two shoves when you're holding something like TT.
