You play at bodog, all your opponents are terrible, do not listen to what they say.

Advice: Keep playing with these people.

More advice: Don't show/tell them what you had.

You made a great an easy, but good laydown. The reason why you made a good laydown is because of something known as the Gap Concept. In a nutshell it means that you need a better hand to call a raise with than you do make a raise with.

What the action before you saying is that each player is holding a strong and they believe that their hand is stronger than the previous raisers. UTG+1's open-raise is an indication that they are holding a big hand, seat 4s all-in is another indication that they might be holding a strong hand or a pocket pair of sort. If they were short-stack, this might be with a large range of hands. Seat 5's re-raise after both raises before him is another indication of a player holding a strong hand. So, with all of the action before you you can be pretty confident that your hand is no good. You might be up against an over-pair, a couple of over pairs, a slight favorite if you hold the only pocket pair vs overcards, but thats it. Nothing worth putting your tournament life on the line for.
