Did I do the right thing?

I don't really care for it when people cry because their unbeatable big slick got taken down by two jacks. If that could never happen, we wouldn't be gambling.

So, yes, if you won, you did the right thing.

I would have to disagree. If you are putting all of your chips in with the odds at least 2 to 1 against you, you are doing the wrong thing. The above poster is saying that you are doing the right thing by outdrawing someone. How can you purposely outdraw someone?!

If he was a tight player, I would have put him on an A or pp. If he was a loose player, I may have called (incorreclty might I add). There is really not enough information to tell you what I would have done, but a K J off is still pretty solid in a 3 handed game. In NL hold'em, you play the players first and the cards 2nd.

It was still pretty unsportsmanlike for the guy to bitch about his loss though. That kind of sportsmanship reminds me of Josh Arieh or Mike Matasow. 2 to 1 really isn't terrible odds anyway when you are 3 handed.
