The worst thing is, I think he played it correctly.
The preflop raise is ridiculous, but you want to play against only a few opponents. You got that.
Once the pot is that big on the flop, you are tied to it, and any bet commits you.
If we change the stack sizes, a pot size flop bet is called for, but since that's more than half your chips... even if you are raised you will be getting laid good odds to call.
You didn't make a mistake... but playing this way in a cash game will lead to some interesting variance.
How does the hand change if you, for example, raise to .5 preflop instead of $1?
Then you can make a $2 flop bet without completely committing yourself, while still forcing your opponents to make an incorrect decision if behind.
