How would you play this table?

Ok, I'm new here, but not too new to the game of poker.

This is a real life poker. It's me and bunch of my friends. It's the same group all the time, give or take.

There is one aggressive player, who will call anything pre-flop. Yes, anything! Unless the pre-flop is all in.

There is one tight player who is hard to read, if he decides to call any bets/raises.

There is one aggressive player who bets even if he bottom pairs or is on a draw, or a gutshot draw.

There is one player who pre-flops whenever he sees a face card in his hand. He always bets on the flop, to keep his pre-flop raise image strong. UNLESS the flop is all low cards, then we know that he hit nothing and is on no draws whatsoever.

There is one player who sometimes (i think) slowplays his top pair off the flop, but bets on the turn, and fishes a lot. Always gets his card on the river, somehow or another.

There is that last player who rarely pre-flops but will bet on flop, very high, if he pairs anything, but will bet low if he is on a draw.

And finally, there is me. My story is weird. I used to be very tight and weak but I started being a little aggressive but I keep getting beat by better hands. If I'm holding trips off the flop, and there is a straight draw, I will bet huge, but somehow or another, I end up losing to either nut straight or long shot flush. This, so far, has led to tilting.

I know I shouldn't be tilting but, it seems that all I'm doing in the home game is adding money to the pot, but never have won the pot. I won the pot couple of times, and the last time I won the pot was god knows when. I honestly dont even remember when I placed second.

What to do? How should I go about handling each player. They have kept this image for awhile, and I doubt they will change their strategy. So, it's time for me to shift gears. I need to know everything that I can use against these guys. ANYTHING!! I will gladly take and follow each of your advice. But just give me something to work with.

I appreciate the help guys.

try not to worry about draws too much, if they are gonna chase, make it very costly to do so.

They are only going to make their flushes and straights about 35% of the time, so go with that.

yea they might win 5 hands in a row with lucky draws, but that's not what poker is about. Winning in poker is about the long run, and playing made hands against unmade hands is what puts money in your pockets.

Also, they seem like loose aggressive players, which are perfect opponents. The tight player though seems weak, so bluff him a lot.
