hehe, in the christmas spirit i'll tell you my thoughts.
(as a correction, the flop was AT8, and you had 67.)
i was pretty sure you were strong, actually, but i had JT, giving me a pair and an open ended straight draw once that 9 hit on the turn. i also figured a T or a J were possible outs. i was pretty sure you didn't have an A, so i figured i'd gamble and go all in... it was only $80 or so. :-)
of course i didn't read you for having hit an inside straight with the flush draw to boot. i thought you probably had two pair or a set. maybe just a strong A or just a flush draw.
when the turn card hit i just knew i wasn't going to be able to get off the hand given the size of your stack. so, when in doubt, push all in.
