Live at my friends barbacue

The have a hold em tourny and I ve never seen more passive calling stations in my life. My one friend who played it with me (not the kid whose barbacue it was) was the only one who had half a clue.The other 8 guys combined raised preflop a total of one time in 2 hours.
They really thought they were good too, trying to teach me how aces always lose (well the way they played them limp and never fold I wonder why.)
Anyway there was one hand where the board was something like 99442 and a 3rd diamond hit the river.
One of them bet , my friend shoves I call with the nine, another guy calls as does the initial bettor.
MY friend had the 9, the first guy who calls has the 4 and the final caller has and chase the flush.

They didnt even bother discussing the guy who called 2 all ins with the 4- that was a no brainer he had a full house.
The all agreed that the all star who called 3 all ins with the flush was correc and couldnt do anything about the "set-up hand" I had to go around the house to laugh for a good five minutes. Eventually I come back abnd win and my friend takes second.

About a week later my friend (whose barbacue it was and brother had played with us) asks us if we had cheated. I thought he was joking (ke knows nothing about cards and does not play at all.)He expalined that his brother and friends swore up and down that were we cheating and all regard eachother as great. I told him to tell them if they are so great lets get a table at the Borgata with a real dealer and play a cash game. I have been accused of a lot in my life, most of it justifyably, but this was a new one.
