Oh hell, I didn't even realize you were playing a .05/.10 table. Regardless, a buck is a decent raise that should have made all the crap hands fold. He prolly figured since everyone folded ahead of him, he would try his luck. I see that happen a lot.
One of the worst beats of my life came when I was holding K-Q. Some guy called me w/ fuggin' 2-4 offsuit after I tripled the blinds preflop, (starting blinds were at 500 and 1000... keep in mind this was a league game, not online). The flop came K-Q-4, I bet, he called. The turn was a 4, I bet, he called. The river... another fuggin' 4. I thought I was golden w/ my boat, eh, nope. Went all-in, the guy naturally called me w/o hesitation. /sigh
This shit happens, especially when playing for free. But in the league I was in, we played for seats at monthly and quarterly tournaments. If you placed well in the quarterly tournament, you could go to state and play to win a seat at the WSOP. So this was important to many of us in the leaque that were tight, consistant players. But you always have those a-holes that play extremely loose and they chase every fuggin' hand.
GAH! Ok, now I want to play some poker!!
