I dont believe any play outside, maybe play money online... not really

We play so often I think i know the players pretty well.
The easiest ones are the "calling stations"- loose, passive players and the rock, who is tight, passive- never raises.

There are many agressive (mostly loose) players at the table, these guys are the strongest at their game and usually do most of the winning (one of them, anyway) One loose, agressive guy is easy to beat- I don't give his frequent large bets much respect anymore.

I believe I'm the only successful "tight" or conservative poker player at the table- but my playing style has put me in 2nd or 3rd place consistently over time. I make a few dollars, win some respect, but never the big pot at the end (and the glory, of course).

I think my trouble lies with shorthanded end-game (5,4,3 players). I play more hands, try to be more agressive but I can't face the 1 or 2 huge stacks that have built up since. Advice?
