How can you make this call and sleep at night?

i was right around the avg stack at the time, and i meant that i had been playing well up to that point. I was refferring to the call he makes preflop, 1500 with 34? i mean come on i may have played horribly after the flop but how do you make this call preflop, he had around 600 more chips than me so it wasnt like he could afford to play every hand pf.
