Please explain to me how your play was wrong?

It was a bad call.

if you fold here, then you will fold in alot of similar spots when you have second nuts.

How often do you have to call with the second nuts to punish someone who bluff-pushes for 5 times the pot? 1 time in 6, slightly more frequently for a semi-bluffer.

This is a very dangerous situation, far more dangerous than calling a push with top 2 or middle set on an uncoordinated board. Many more hands have you beat, and it isn't so unlikely for someone to be playing QJ.

If you can't make this call, then you simply shouldn't be playing poker.

Nonsense. Do you think you can't fold KK preflop with a 200 BB stack, too? That's also wrong by a lot.

Sorry if I sounded kind of harsh here, but I am trying to get my point across.

I don't think you were overly harsh, just wrong.

Against maniacs, I've doubled up by calling all-in with 66 and AK unimproved, but my record after calling massive overbets with the second nuts by non-maniacs is really, really bad, despite the 40+% chance I need to be ahead to justify the call.
