Default Horribly annoying table. How should I play?!

Its the $5 MTT on stars and the play goes like this:
One guy minraise utg, and at least 4 people call all the time.
Then on the flop they bet 200 in a 1400 pot and it gets called around or minreraised.
They are playing the nuts like this and alot of times crap.

How should I play these guys? If I make a big reraise, then they always seem to think its a bluff and donk it all in, but its hard to find a call then with TPGK.

Sidenote: after 63 hands my best hand was 99, the rest wasnt even playable, not a single trappinghand either :s

It sounds like you accidently signed up for a fixed limit tournament.

Isn't this a dream that "your big reraises get called because they seem to think its a bluff."
So wait for a hand and make a move.

If your getting cold cards that game or that evening, then there is not much you can do. Pick a hand and move in, maybe put a beat on someone and your luck will change. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Haha, you probably wont believe it but I said to one of those regular minraisers:
"Do you realise you're not playing in a fixed limit tourmanet?"
