With money that short just play a move in game and muscle the hell out of them. If you hit TPTK and you got 4 callers to the flop, and more importantly the flop does not look too dangerous, move in. You'll be surprised how fast you will wear them down and build your stack picking up that dead money. If you get called, you are likely ahead and should make some $ in the long run.

Basically, if you have a bunch of passive chasers you are looking to drag the pot on the flop without a showdown. You will wear down the other guys or bust them if they call. Once in a while you will take a beat but that's how it goes.

Get trickey and limp once in a while with AA and KK and then move in on the flop.

Push, push, push. Keep pressure on your opponents when you have a hand.

This strategy assumes that you catch some good starting hands or hit a solid flop. Don't try to bluff.

Don't stoop to their level and play any 2 cards as that will only get you in trouble. However, if they are that passive you can play you sooooted A's and sooooted connectors and hope to get lucky if you can see a cheap flop.

The difficulty in playing bad players is that it is impossible to put them on a hand but they don't necessarily realize that.

Finally, you absolutely want people calling every time with those gutshot str8's, that's where you will make the most $$$.
