So you guys are happy with a bunch of people calling 5x the big blind raises with K 8 and A 3 when you have QQ and JJ. I make a continuation bet and then I get re-raised 4 dollars and, looking at 2 overcards, have to lay down.

I prefer better players to play with, yes. I've lost huge pots when I pushed the turns with trips only to be rivered by the nut flush draw who didn't have any pot odds at all to go all in.
