I don't know the hand in question. I play mostly cash games, but are you really doing all this analysis in your head during the hand or are you simply thinking, "My 10's are the best here?" Then after the hand you perform an analysis and see that you're right in thinking that your tens are best?

I ran the numbers on PokerStove after the hand, but I've run hands like this so many times that I have a good feel for the numbers, and my mental estimate at the table is usually pretty close. So, I don't have exact numbers at the table, but I am doing the analysis at the table with an estimate.

This is how you learn to attack hands like this. As someone who has played a bunch of SNGs, I have no idea that pushing my Q8 is a +1.2% push, but I've played so many hands and bubble situations, that intuitively I feel that pushing is the correct play. I'm wrong on occasion, but I'm sure this is how Greg plays.
