A double special

You may have heard of a thing called "the big blind special". This is what it is called when somebody raises to steal the blinds, and the big blind wakes up with a monster hand.

Well, just now I encountered a double special for the first (and hopefully last!) time. I got no cards and was staying quiet, because there were way too many people limping all the time. Eventually I got A8o on the button, and amazingly the hand was actually folded around to me. The blinds were already 50/100, and my M was a little under 6. So I pushed.

The small blind had AA.

The big blind had TT.
