Final Pot: t300

My thinking behind the hand was this:

ATs 5 handed is too good to fold, not good enough to call a raise. The blinds were small enough in proportion to my stack where a push wouldn't be worth the risk, yet my stack was too small to be able to withstand folding after a raise.

If I raise and am called, I could be playing a dominated hand out of position.

So I limped.

Weak/tight?

[Freudian]

I don't think there is any hand I would openlimp with 5-handed. Raise to 3xBB and take it from there.

[Apathy]

Don't ever limp 5 handed, don't open limp in level 3 (there are a few exceptions), and don't fold A 10s 5 handed.
