Crushing Beginners

Hi Guys!

I play once a week with couple of friends 5$NL home games.

A lot of them are just huge calling stations and do not fold at all!

Online i have no trouble beating calling stations, cause there is maybe one or two of them at one table! But if you play with 6 of them, you will not get heads up on the flop with your premium hands.. thats why i often loose my with my premium hands.

Im not trying to win all there money, we're just playing for fun. But i would like to crush them, so they realize that calling a 10BB preflop 3 bet with Q2s, is not a good play!

So if you have any advice how to play against them let me know! They play like 80% of hands, limp in every pot, then i usually raise with 20% of hands to 8 or more Big blinds (they NEVER fold to a standard 3BB raise), and get still called by 3 or more players!

Greetings :)

No fold'em hold'em
NL2 and NL5 play like that on several sites

My suggestions:
:diamond:  play mostly in position
:diamond:  When you raise over limpers, raise 1 BB for each limper over top of your standard 3x open raise
:diamond:  include mid-range suited connectors in position, and when they hit, raise big
:diamond:  Don't get married to your big pairs
:diamond:  If everyone is playing for fun, keep it fun -- if you do have a huge skill edge, don't crush 'em. Let them keep their dignity (and a little money)
