sounds like youre all crazy ,lol ,i would have dropped any hand preflop with that many callers.percentage of winning with 4 callers has to be low with ANY hand. does sound like alot of the games i play in though , i usually lose with the better starting hand somewhere along the line.im not a bad loser but they do make you wanna cuss them sometimes,go phil helmuth on them lol.but you realize its poker and thats the way the mop flops,you want them in there just dont want them to suck out.lol

PM me...if you have Yahoo messenger I can shadow you for a while. There is a method to the madness believe it or not

Also I'd like to point out that most people don't understand the power of suited connectors/gappers
