UPDATE: TripJax correctly stated in the comments that this was not a "blind defense" so I had to go change the title. Thanks for the extra work you caused, Trip. And now I have to go post a full hand analysis too...
It was only a $2 donkament, but I managed to make it through a lot of mines and get oh so close. When we broke the money bubble with 198 runners left I was in 1st place and maintained my lead for a long time. When we were down to around 30 or so I won a big pot and got back up to third. When the tables merged with 18 players left the guy to my right kept raising every hand. When he stole my BB with A8s I said I had to fold my 62o. Then the very next hand I get KK in the SB and he raises 3xBB from the button again. I re-raise to double his raise and he calls. Flop is Ace high, all spades and I have the Ks, so I go ahead and bet out around 2/3 and he calls. The turn is a blank and I bet the pot and get reraised double and call. River is another blank and I go all in for the rest of my chips. He has me covered by about 1500 and calls with a flopped flush. Yes, the all mighty J8s took me down.
I suppose I could have gotten away from this hand. I am going to bed mad. Again.

I wouldn't really call re-raising in the blinds with KK a blind defense. That's just pretty much losing a tough pot with a premium hand.
Now if you had re-raised with the 62o against a guy constantly raising your blinds, that would be a blind defense (i.e. taking a stand with any two cards).
Still, well done in a 1000+ player tourney man...nice job.
