Did I make the right call?
I won the hand but im wondering if I made the right call or if I just got lucky? I start the hand with AKs and i raise 3 dollars preflop. I have one caller and the flop comes QJJ with two spades. I check and he raises 5 dollars(which is a good bit compared to our usual buy in of 15 or 20 dollars). I call. The next card is a 7 of clubs. He raises 5. I call. Next card is a 5 of spades. I hit my flush. He raises five. I call. He cries. He acted like I was playing like an idiot. I thought my calling was justified because of the outs. Am I wrong? At that point i had 19 outs that would've beaten his queens and jacks.

He had what, AQ? KQ? If he had anything else, Q4, Q6, you can turn the tables on him. "You saw a $3 raise with Q4?!?! Who's the idiot?!?!"
If you say $5 was a healthy raise to call, it may have been a bad idea to call it after you missed your flop. I may call $5 depending on my stack and table image. But mostly what I make the other guy on. There is a full-house possibility on the board. If someone held a JQ, they probably wouldn't fold it, even to a $3 PFR.
