I play this hand the same way occasionally earlier in the tournament when the play is weaker. With the stack sizes so close here I'm inclined to fold most of the time preflop. I think what really bothers me is that I decided to open push K-10 4 hands later. These two hands just illustrate my bad decision making late in the tournament. I agree.

You're squarely middle position, with a couple of bigger stacks to act behind you, and any reasonable raise in that spot almost commits you. (Almost) On the cutoff or button, that's probably a shove at least 80% of the time when unopened, but you've got 1/2 the table to act with a marginal hand. Any reraise either makes you fold or you're calling with a hand that's most likely at best racing. Even AJ is a bit problematic in that spot, but AT much more so. I think that's a fold you have to make PF, mostly given your stack size and position there. I don’t think I like your raise with ATo in that spot.
