I don't know what the value of the bet and pot is so can't comment on pot odds (and chances are he/she had no idea about these odds either), but it might not actually be as bad a call as it sounds.
You're right, but he didn't have pot odds (I put him all in) and I had reraised someones preflop raise and he called both to stay in the hand. You're right, he had some outs, but on a board were someone could have a made full house... considering the strength I showed preflop KK was not out of the question...

So he's betting with the second best hand hoping to improve to a hand that may still be second best... and he'll take that risk with all his chips?? Seems to be negative EV all the way.

And this is not even my worst JT beat, I posted a hand history from another one in a different thread... sorry to rant and hijack the post. Thanks for listening and for the feedback.
