How stupid was this play?

Party $11.
The guy has raised that big with Ax 2 times before this and I knew he had crap again.

I guess I should have called here and got out if no A or K hit? What would you do in this situation?

Not stupid at all, it's what I would do in the same situation. Calling preflop is dreadfully bad.

Oh okay, I never look at the opponents hand until I've posted my response. It can cloud your judgement sometimes.

By the way do you see how terrible an idea it is to call and get out if an ace or king doesnt hit? This idiot is sitting here with A3 offsuit and one plan was to call and fold on a J65 flop. It's really really beyond terrible to even consider playing like this. You played correctly.

Pushing here was just fine. Especially against an idiot.

Good to hear I played it well. At owhat point is his raise small enough where I can call and get out of a hand if A or K doesn't hit?

I think there is no raise. Once the blinds are this high you should be moving allin against any raise he makes.
