Poker play at Commerce Casino

My cousin, Ryan, and I went to Commerce to play. As he described, these people are "total fish." They are loose preflop, and they are loose calling raises. There is almost always a raise preflop and 3-4 people playing for the flop. I imagine random hands like K7, J9, A5, and 89 are all gunning for the pot. Even premiums such as AK has a hard time holding up to all of these hands at once. Essentially because AK and other premiums still hold up best heads up. Since non of these pots get heads-up despite a raise of more than 5x the blinds, it baffles us that there is so many callers.

We decided that these variations in play would require us to make adjustments in our play. But what adjustments, I'm not completely sure. Sklansky suggests raising less and just calling preflop with pretty premium hands like AQ. I don't agree because the quality of hands my opponents are playing are ridiculously worse, it seems they should be punished for their poor play right away and through the entire hand. But how do you deal with it when a raise doesn't eliminate ANY players... its a very odd situation.

In addition, after analyzing the set-up and blind structure, it seems the casino designed it in a way that heavily favors luck over skill. Most of the time buy-ins are about 100x the big blind, but at these casinos (Bicycle, Commerce, Morongo) the buyin only comes out to be about 30x or 40x the BB thus increasing the luck factor as it makes it harder to play many pots early on without risking a high percentage of your stack AND making it harder to bet enough to reduce a players pot odds for drawing. In short, it makes it hard to protect your hand, and makes it harder to use your more advanced post-pre-flop play as an overlay.

Solution?
1. Move up in stacks and play looser and aggressive
2. Play tight textbook hold'em
3. Move up in stacks where the blinds are maybe 50x instead of 30x, and play tight aggressive.

I don't know yet, but I'll figure out a best solution soon enough. Once that happens, I'm going fishing.
