You did the right thing. In fact the fact that you had the discipline to
fold that hand as a new player says alot about your future potential. Most
of the hands reasonable players will go all in with early in a tournament
would be either heavy favorites against pocket 10s or nearly 50/50 against
them. You had to assume at least one of the players was reasonable since you
knew nothing about them. Don't worry about it.
