See, and I actually think people don't take it enough. 65/35 is pretty damn close to 2:1, so unless he's up against a pair of 8s or better, calling isn't THAT bad of a play. It's marginal. And if for some reason he puts his opponent on a small pair, it's really not that bad at all.
The problem I have with this hand was his initial REraise that got him into this mess. Of course, we have no idea what kind of read he had on his opponent. If he was coinfident that his opponent was on a steal and would fold to a big reraise, it makes sense (even though he ended up being wrong). But if he's willing to call the opponents re-reraise, why not just push in from the blind with the initial reraise? I'm assuming no one else was invvolved in the hand, of course.
