$11 PKO deep stack: ATs to a short stack all in
An early position player goes all in for 2BBs. I have an early position stack with T♥ A♥ and 80BBs. What is the best play at this point?

BB: 80.42 BB
UTG: 77.53 BB
UTG+1: 2.23 BB
MP: 76.38 BB
Hero (MP+1): 83.14 BB
MP+2: 83.23 BB
CO: 90.98 BB
BTN: 173.47 BB
SB: 82 BB
9 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 2.62 BB) Hero has T♥ A♥
fold, UTG+1 raises to 2.11 BB and is all-in,
Action is to me. What is the best play?
My thoughts after the fact:

Maybe this is ok if UTG +1 has a really big bounty -- but $5 it's not close.
Otherwise, I probably either flat (if at an active and aggressive table), or raise to about 7 bbs (if at a passive table). Otherwise, you said you were on tilt and it happens to us all, plus you weren't used to paying this deep. So you get that it's generally a big mistake to pile in 83 BBs over a 2 BB open with lots of covering stacks behind you.
But I think you covered well your mistake here.
