I dont really think he played well preflop? What do I know though.

EDIT: maybe he did ok, after the inital raise he risks $4 off his stack against $50ish, I guess if he really thinks you are going to pay him off all the way...

EDIT again: nvm, after sitting and thinking about it for a minute I guess he did have implied odds against you, and made the perfect play to pot commit you to a push/fold situation on the flop.
