Default Strange Hand - What to Do

First of all hi, never posted before but read on here for a year or more. This hand happened on a party $100 buy in SNG and went like this. Blinds have just hit 15/30, all players remain. UTG, you are dealt 10c10s. You raise to 100, every single player behind you calls, except for the big blind, who goes all in. What do you do?

Well no one has shown any strength yet in the hand. Getting 8 callers to a raise from UTG usually means that you have the best hand. Having the BB push after 9 people enter a raised pot wouldn't scare me either. Plus you have pocket tens, which is like the 5th best starting hand in poker or something. Easy call.

2 calls and 2 folds, in this case I instantly called. After calling the raise behind me, every single other person folded so it was just the two of us. He showed 89 suited. I thought it was an easy call but others disagree. The pot was huge too.

Sorry but this is the easiest fold ever.

I am not going to discourage you from playing poker like these others. If I get 1010 in late position early... I am definitely raising. If I feel the BB is on a steal and my 10s are good I am calling also. Go with your reads man that is the true path to real success.
