Was I right to make this call? Was I lucky?

Admin is being too nice to you. That was a bad call and a mistake. You would have to have been some kind of a god to get that kind of a read to think you had the best had. Simply, the only hands you can beat are hands were your both your oppontents cards are less than 7. Realistcially with him raising pre-flop the only hands you could have beaten were 66 and 55. He could have even been bluffing with something that beat you!!!!

Another thing to keep in mind is the low buy-in. Many times it is the case where people will raise with just about and Ace or any two face cards(or some players with that buy-in won't raise vitually at all, either, but that is besides the point).

I think a bet would have been a prudent play on the flop, to either take it down there or get more info on his hand. A Check-raise would indicate a slow-play and a check-call by him may indicate a flush draw.
