right call or too risky?

this is the final table of a very long vegas fest table, This is also the first hand to be played on the table.  I am very tired at this time and keep slipping up. I have no reads on pod1 at all but know that rosjim has shoved all in on any pocket pair at the cagey stages of the tournament, he has also called players that have shoved when he is holding two picture cards. Am i right to call or am i better of playing safe.

    i think its a pretty easy fold here, when  rosjim re shoves he not doing this with A10 below u have to be beat here easy fold imo

    wow im shocked that he had A10 but 90% of the time he doesnt do this with less than AJ so i still think its a fold

    Open smaller, to something like 2,518.89, and fold, or just shove all in pre flop.

    I would just shove on a 5 handed table.

    Rosjim should normally be alot stronger than AT here, as he should assume that you're going to call having put that much in already.

    i must admit i was shocked when i saw rosjim turn over a10 after 2 all ins, i had kittens when i hit my my set on flop and total despair when he hit flush on river!!!

    thanks for the advice i think i would normally fold here and i called because i was so tired. Il try to play this a little different in the future. You were very unlucky to lose that hand pod1 and i m looking forward to clashing with you tonight, good luck

    You shouldnt even have this decision because its a fold or shove preflop.

    A fold is too tight here imo, because you are only playing for the 1st place which is a 1.1k seat. I think you had already won a £110 seat so this took the pressure off.

    Just Jam it in preflop you have 10bbs and AJ on a 5 handed table!
