You got lucky. A10s is a limping hand, MAYBE one raise before the flop, certainly not a re-raise. When he re-raised me, I probably would've thrown it away. There is no reason to think he's on a straight draw- it would be inside, and he should not be calling pre-flop with any hand with an 8 or 9 in it (especially re-raising). I would be more apt to think a set of 7's or 10's. You both played pretty bad, and you got lucky with a runner-runner. When you get re-raised all-in, throw it away.

Whether or not to raise w/ A10s depends on position I think. Raising is fine in a late position in my opinion if there haven't been othe raises yet. But making that call with only 10's... he was playing aggressively the whole time, so he coulda had a high PP, which still has you beat at teh time so I don't agree with that call.
