Is it me or is the standard of play on poker.co.uk getting progressively worse ? The medium level buy-in tournaments used to be pretty good but now you get 7-8 limpers on every hand and if you raise you still get 4-5 callers. It's great when they pay you off, but annoying when they suck out on you like above.

i don't think you should have pushed there. Normally I think its a good play but if all your opponents are as loose as you say and you think you're going to get called you should slow play a bit more. Decide if you've got the best of it when all community cards have been dealt. Im not criticising 'cos i would've done exactly the same but maybe you should tighten up a bit to combat all the loose fish you're playing against

Yeah, it definitely takes a different style of play.
You can pretty much rule out making bluff, continuation bets, because so many people see each flop, you can guarantee someone will always have something they will call you down with.
