Fold preflop. I don't think it's close.

any reason why? I'm pretty new to S&amp;G so I'm still working out the bubble play. A10 is a pretty good starting hand 4 handed. Is the point just to wait for the SS to bust?

Not necessarily to wait, but to tighten up your play because of the short stack situation.

If this were 3 handed, I'd come back over the top all-in preflop. If I was the short stack, I might make a stand with this hand. If I were the significant chip leader, and had the raiser covered, I'd also come over the top. However, the fact that this guy can bust you means you need to get out of the way in this situation. You need a better hand than AT.
