Yes.. The original poster was absolutely correct. As are you.

Here is the logic I used to realize my mistake (that and 3 pieces of paper ;) )

If you pick a loosing door, and monty removes a loosing door, 100% of the time you will win if you switch.

Since you have a .66 chance of picking a loosing door, you have a .66 chance of winning when switching.
