I got this hand during the chromestar freeroll. There where about 200 players left from the 34 000.
Suddenly this guy joins our table and the first hand he goes all in UTG.
Everyone folds (me too with only a pir of fours)
The second hand he gets, the next thing happens.

poker stars Freeroll No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t5000/t10000 Blinds + t1250 - 9 players

MP2: t102698 M = 3.91
CO: t305297 M = 11.63
BTN: t182416 M = 6.95
SB: t63251 M = 2.41
BB: t180055 M = 6.86
UTG: t418288 M = 15.93
UTG+1: t271315 M = 10.34
Hero (UTG+2): t133646 M = 5.09
MP1: t167685 M = 6.39

Pre Flop: (t26250) Hero is UTG+2 with A

Was it OK to call all in here?

I'm just open shoving here unless the table is very rejam happy. Off 13bb in our position, we don't really want to induce with AQs and also don't want to have to r/f.

As played, I think we have to call it off. We're getting almost 2:1 and I wouldn't give any of the flat callers too much credit for a monster.

You are right, a shove might have been better, although I think it was a bit on the limit between raising and shoving.
I think that if I had about 2BB less, I would have shoved, but here I was scared to not get any action at all, and just pick up the blinds.

Btw, the BB had ...
KK, which meant the end for me
