Standard of players and their luck

Playing a tournament earlier. I have a ace jack on the bb. I have two limpers before me (blinds are 50/100). With 30bbs I re-raise to 350ish. Both call, flop comes aq6... pot is 1200, I have 3000, decided to shove as 75% of the time I'm good and someone might call with kq.
Get snapped called by one player who turns over ace 10, and then he turns a 10. Yet again a player who is not very good( he limped pre-flop with ace 10 = disgraceful and then snapped called (debateable). But yet again sucked out on and they guy who doesn't have a clue double up... a joke. This happens to me way too many times.

Intelligent reply, you must have put a lot of thought and effort into it. The bad beat is irrelevant; it does not bother me. The main topic of discussion was the standard of a majority of players on the site, which consists of continuous limping and strange betting. Any player who is half decent knows limping is the thing you should never do, yet it continuously happens. This is the point I was trying to make.
You can't really complain too much abuot bad play because long term, that's how the winners win.
Would you prefer to hold the worst hand !
If you took some time to read the post and engage you brain before replying you may realise that I was not complaining about that.
So you would prefer to play against better players, and more likely hold the worst hand :S
So in your words "engage your brain"
That makes it look very much as though you're complaining about being outdrawn. You're correct to say that limping is a trait of bad players but complaining about the mistakes that other people are making is also a trait of a bad player.
You're right that playing with good players can be enjoyable. Sadly it's not as profitable as playing with bad players.
Listen, everybody enjoys having a pop at rancid (Who wouldn't? lol). The thing is that he's probably a better player than you, so it might be wise to try to listen to what he's telling you: Focus on your own play. If you're not winning it's because of your own mistakes, not the mistakes of your opponents. Sometimes you play well and still lose. That's just the nature of the game.
