No offense, but you should know the answer to this - there really is no solution or adaptation. You have listed every conceivable donk-friendly aspect of poker that exists in this STT, in your opening post. Obviously, there's not much strategy here other than value betting the life out of your hands and getting in a ton preflop with top-5 starting holdings. Simply do this and live with the immediate results, knowing that in the long term, you ought to profit nicely off this.

Maybe see what you can do about talking over the payout structure a bit more. Seems like anyone reasonable would allow more than two players to get paid when there are 40+ entries.

Off topic, but honestly, how sure are you that people are actually fixing the deck here. Somehow I doubt this. I've dealt for years and I can't do this, nor know anyone who can with any consistency. It seems odds that the group of people you describe have an elaborate cheating scam going.

I'm not sure it's an elaborate cheating scam. I'm sure that it's either a bunch of horrendously unlucky donks consistently losing to the host who consistently gets AA/KK/AKs when he deals or a bunch of horrendously retarded donks who can't conceive of their friend cheating them by stacking himself consistent AA/KK/AKs/flopped nut straight with garbage. There's SOME kind of fix in the game, but I think it's the kind a not-so-drunk retard sets against a bunch of really drunk retards.
