You put in 15k on the small blind, and now have 105k left over. You call off 85k with a hand which you are almost positive where you are behind.

Your logic seems to be "If I call and win, then I am guaranteed second place AND a huge chip stack but if I lose I still have a small stack which I could get lucky and double up a couple of times and get back in it".

I think your logic was good but I think it was a bad move beccause the bet was just too much. If the guy went all-in for 40-50k or something then I saw call (even if you are a 40% favorite maybe), just to get the chance to knock him out. But the bet was jut too much. Why bother risking 90% of your stack with a hand you know is worse?

This may sound stupid also, but KJ is a bad hand to call with there because there is a big change you are dominated by AK, or KQ, or JJ and have only 1 live card to hit. I would actually feel more comfortable calling that with J-10s.
