The first thing you did wrong was not invite me over to play in the game. Next up it sounds like you have Miller and Shawn on your left which is obviously a strategic mistake.

But at least you managed to get George and Alex in the game to make it possible to overcome that damn rake.

Anyway, yeah, start raising with those broadway cards from just about anywhere on the table and make the tight players pay. If Miller just calls you down I say give up with nothing on the turn.

If the Bird checkraises you on the flop, take one off but give up on the turn.

If Shawn 3-bets preflop, go ahead and 4-bet and don't stop betting until he folds or raises an expensive street.

Give Fran the respect he deserves and if you need help with the rest of that Crew then I suggest you take a bathroom break and read one of Mason's Essays to help get your mind right.
