Default ATs, all-in or fold?

The situation is a bar tournement; no buy-in, although buying things from the house (e.g., drinks) gets you extra chips. First and second place get money, third gets a gift certificate. The nine people at the final table get points toward other prizes (the largest of which is a buy-in to a WSOP satellite).

Hero is at the final table. Ninth place is gone. His stack is smaller than the big blind, so his only options are all-in or fold. In middle position, with several callers, he gets ATs.

Hero's move?

Okay.

In the event, I folded and saw three more of the same suit come out on the board. Before posting I was already pretty sure I misplayed the hand, but I wanted to check in case knowing what happened biased me.

Not only did you misplay this hand, I would bet you missed quite a few +EV spots while blinding off to that point (unless you just lost a bit AI against someone you barely covered or something).

Also, your bars policy of free tournaments and rebuys with beer purchases fascinates me and I would like to subscribe to their newsletter.
