Default my new favorite hand ever... my turn for the miracle

decide to play for a few minutes at 5am, ran my $40 up to $93 with back to back AJo hands, one of which hit the inside str8 on the river, I get involved with 45s in a party pot

man, the comments were flying LOL.
"you called all the way down on that?"
"LOL"
"sick"
"hands like that make me think pokerstars is rigged"
"no person in there right mind would call all those
bets on that"

frankly I only thought of folding after the flop for a few seconds but I thought it would be crazy to not see the turn. I don't mind putting in 3 bets before the flop because I was sure everyone behind me was coming along too. $38 in the pot preflop, I like 45s vs 5 other players, especially since its very likely none of them have cards I need.

I know I need to hit runner runner, but I'm gonna spend the 2 bucks to see the turn with a $40 pot. Then I pick up the open ended straight draw, only an idiot would fold to a $4 bet when the implied odds are something like 12-1 or more.

So a table full of players thinks I'm a lucky idiot, I think that playing babies in a community pot can be a beautiful thing and they should pay attention to the risk/reward ratio before ragging on me !
