what a tough fkn table

So I'm at my local casino today in their weekly $11 buy in. I'm feeling great after tweaking a few parts of my game and felt like I was a sure favorite. I get seated amongst a bunch of maniacs. I knew one in particular very loose player at my table and opted that I was not going to give my chips to her! So play starts off slow with everyone limping. Then a few hands later I start to notice that everyone is raising and when they do there is at least 3-4 callers; I'm thinking wow! I had already gotten used to being an aggressive player so this was completely new to me in this setting.

In one hand from middle position I raise with 6-6 and get called by 4 people. The flop is pretty much a disaster for me bringing an Ace a Ten and a Jack I believe; so that hand was a bet fold.

Then In another hand I raise from late position with Ace-6 and miss loosy goosy player re raises me; I fold.

Finally I'm on the dealer button and raise with A-Q and sure enough I get 3 callers. The flop is rainbow with 2 low cards and a Q. Miss loose bets, then another guy calls so I'm like wow. Someone has to either have a set or two pair. Since they were both in the blinds they could have easily called me with anything, especially by how loose they were playing. Regardless I push the rest of my stack in and get called instantly by both of them. Miss loose flopped 2 pair and the other guy had a A-Q as well. Not only did my gut tell me to get out of the hand but also it was rather obvious I was beat. If there was a flush draw out there or some sort of strait draw then maybe my push would of warranted a better call, but there wasn't. This was one of those stupid situations where one gets caught up in the moment and married to their cards.; for some reason my hand just didn't want to throw those cards into the muck. Sad day:(
