All I could type was "wtf" last night. Is this what I can expect to happen as I move up, or will this kinda shiat lessen (I know it never truly goes away)?

on the 11s hand like the one above aint rare, however I dont remember such wild action on the 22s and I have played like 300 of those.

I would have folded to the all in.

Doesn't a push of t795 seem kind of supicious, especially since he first called?. If he had QQ+, would not the more reasonably thing be to make it about 300? And do I really need to be scared of QQ-KK in this situation? AA is the only hand that grossly dominates me (I'm about 1:4 against the AA's and I think and KK give me 2:5, so that kinda dominates too, but the 3:1 pot odd favor me for the kings :-P), right?

Dude, it's a push and a call. 2 all-ins. Those odds you cited might work(I didn't check your numbers) if you were up against 1 player with the same size pot. but not against 2 players. This is an easy fold.

Yeah, with so many callers, I could expect to see QQ+ prolly along with an AK/AQ. QQ+ would then be the acceptable calling range, right? Would anyone place JJ in there? I'm really trying to get the finer tunings of playing people online down. I thank you for your aid in replying.
