The question you have to ask yourself is
"Am I playing to have a good night out with the guys or am I playing to win money from these guys?"

Ask yourself this truly. I know that when I "play with boys" I don't play anything like I would play online. It's supposed to be fun. I post the cost to see the flop with most anything, oftentimes before I even see my cards and go from there.

However, if your motivation behind playing with them is the latter, well then, you're going to have to give up on big pairs, because they'll probably get outdrawn on. Play wit hsuited connectors since it would seem as though your friends don't understand pot odds. Try and hit something REALLY nice like a straight or a flush, or of course, the all powerful set.

Anyway, hope this helped.
