I don't see how this is possible.

huh?

Even when playing 8 tables at a time, it is impossible for me to get down to 5 people in the tourney at that blind level without having any reads (particularly on the big stack, which is very relevant here).

I call this. UTG could be moving in with any pair, any ace, or any two faces. You also don't have much time to stick around with five people at this level.

(Oh, and eastbay's magic program thingy says to call too, unless he'd been waiting for TT+, AQ+)

I call this in a flash.

Dive_Mama is a well-known 2+2er, BTW.

For some reason I folded. I have no idea why. I regretted it right away (before I saw her hand of AT).

I hate making those mistakes

FWIW, the reason I questioned the lack of read on BB is that my instinct says to push here instead of just calling. I don't really want the big stack to get tempted to hang around and see this flop for only 1/6 of his stack. I agree that the original all-in could be almost any two cards.
