Deep in a Party $109, blind defense vs big stack?

im very surprised he called with AJ, given your image. i would fold AJ, in his shoes. Conversely, if your called here, you know youre beat. If you're ready to play a big pot, then play it. I think I mightve called here and then pushed any flop without two face cards. If an A comes, its def. going in, and then im beat. People seem to be stubborn preflop, and ive gotten away with stealing more than i thought after the flop.
