this is an example of the "schooling effect." individually, each player is making a mistake going to showdown. collectively(sp?) the players have many outs and as a group will often suck-out on you. the best hands for these types of games are high suited connectors; you wanna get a monster.

you should welcome the idiot who went to the river with a gutshot. TPTK runs into AA and KK; sheet happens. think long term. consider NL. stay TAG.
