No problem so far, you did the right thing.

This above quote is absurd! The best move now would be to take a session break. If you elect to continue to play, do not compound your problems, by all means lower that bet. After all if you cannot lower your bet after pushing a blackjack which also gave the appearance of you being a good basic strategy player, who is now upset, then when the hell can you do it ?

First, taking even money IS the very same thing as taking insurance, and it is nothing more than a side bet. Making the wrong move, and forming bad habits, to cut down on some variance in a single hand is not the way to help beginners. What next not make some soft doubles when they are called for? Don't ever split 88 vs a ten? Where the heck do you draw the line? Being properly bankrolled, and the long term is what it is all about, not the current hand, or session.
