Should I give up poker, or just come play in your game? (LC)

[begin rant]
You know, I pride myself in being a solid poker player, but I found out I'm wrong.

small home tourney, pays top 3 spots (50, 100, 200+)

3 players left big stack to my right in the BB (15x my stack probably) I have 2K, blinds 400-800.

small blind has 525 left before posting. All I need to do is fold. I shouldn't even be looking at my cards.

I look down at A2o and push. SB folds. 1200 more to the bigstack BB, he contemplates, shows his 89o (we allow tea housing). I show my A. He thinks some more and calls. Hits an 8 on the flop and I'm out.

I've never EVER made such a horrible poker play as that. I mean that is flat out the stupidest thing I've ever ever done.

Thanks for listening, let me know if you want me to come play in your game sometime.
