So im playing in the turbo takedown and this hand takes place

Blinds : 50/100
Me: 3115
Villian: 2675

Folds to me on button with 2[h] 2[c]

I raise it up to 200, villian in SB then reraises to 800, BB folds and I call.

Flop comes 5[s] 6[d] 5[d] . Obviously a perfect flop for me, then villian pushes all in for his remaining 1875. Obviously I put him on A J through A K, as his image isnt raisig that much with a pocket pair and I like my chances so I call.

Turn : 7[s]

River: Q[d]

Virtually knocking me out of the tournament, leaving me with 440.

After the hand I get into an argument with a player not in the hand, callig me a donk and how could I make that call...of course I say in the long run even thought I lose, thats a decent call becasue Ill win majority of hands given what I knew of my opponent. Of course buddy claims Im terrible and says that its a bad play, but only because I lost. If I call and win of course its a good play to him..

Now just what I wanted to know was given what I knew in that its virtually impossible for him to have a pocket pair and im 99% sure he has a hand such as he had, would you have made this call...or in fact is this a bad call and Im just an idiot.
