"Shuffle Up & Deal" 5000 - At our Saturday night home game, we started with three tables (19 players). I'm at Table 3, and we're six handed.
End of Level 1 (25/50) 4025 - We now have four tables with 9 players at ours. I raised to 300 with AQ in the Hyjack, and only the SB (Crazy Mike) called. Flop was J 9 7. We both checked. Turn [J 9 7] Q. He checked. I bet 525, and he called. River [J 9 7 Q] 5. SB led out for 1000. I thought about it for a minute. I decided that this isn't a spot he would bluff, and folded. He said he had KTh, but didn't show.
Level 2 (50/100) 4100 - We now have 44 players on five tables. I'm really card dead to the point that I didn't have a hand to raise preflop. I did win a Blind vs Blind hand with a bet on the Flop.
Level 3 (75/150) 4275 - The CO (Matt G) limps in. I'm the Button with AA, and raise to 525. The SB (Dawn) and CO call. Flop Jh 9d 7d. They check, and I bet 1025. SB folds. CO thinks, and asks how much I have left (under 2000). He counts out the chips, thinks some more, and finally folds.
Later, I did 3-Barrel Bluff in a multi-limp pot with KQ on a AJ6 9 6 Board. The SB (Crazy Mike) checked and called the whole way with just A7o. I get my 3000 AddOn.
Level 4 (100/200) 3975 - Cards really suck. That's what I get for trying to bluff. The only hands I played were the Blinds.
Level 5 (150/300) 4275 - I got moved to Table 1, and won my first pot in the SB. The cards still sucked, although I did raise with ATd on the Button and won the Blinds.
Break Time - 39 players left on five tables.
Level 6 (200/400) 11400 - We are down to four tables now. I shoved a few times, but just won the Blinds. In the last hand of the level, I raised to 1100 UTG with KK. The SB (Mike T) raised enough to put me All-In with 88. Naturally, I called and a K on the Flop sealed the deal.
Level 7 (300/600) 12000 - I raised with A9s and AA, but just won the Blinds.
Level 8 (400/800) 0 - We are down to three tables. Card dead until the final hand of the level. I raise to 2100 UTG+1 with TT. The SB (Colin) 3-Bets to 6200. I count down the rest of my chips, and have 6400 behind. If I fold, then I've got 6400 going in the next level (600/1200). Having 5 Big Blinds just ain't gonna cut it, so I reluctantly call. Of course, he has AA, and the Board is total Air for me. I'm out in 25th place.

you definitely got some sucky cards there didn't you, still you held on in there for a while!
Fold equity reasoning is giving the kid too much credit. He just thought he would bully the old lady off her hand instead of thinking for just a moment, what might she be in there with on the first hand of a tourney. Like you clearly did..
