Default how to adapt table

hi, i beat online the .25 and .50ct NL games NL games (max. buying 25 or 50 dollars). But recently i played at a live homegame (6 a 7 ppl)where the blinds are .50ct (min. buyin 50 and max. 200 dollars), but here i go broke everytime.

The players are quite loose passive, so when making plays they do not believe me. And when i got really hands i got sucked out everytime.

So i played quite tight but that also did not help.
The normal preflop raises are 3.50 but still you got 4 or 5 players go to the flop, also with prflop raises to 5 dollar you still got 3 players.

There are only 2 good players at this table and according to them this is a quite juicy game, but does not apply to me.

Any advice how to beat this game?
I normally do a min. buyin and i do not know if this is a good strategy.
So it is quite frustrated.

if 4/5 people are calling your pre flop raises then raise it up even more. there will be a point where most players drop off with there poorer hands. if everyones calling a 6 * raise then raise 10 * or 12*. this is a poker players dream... lots of fish calling raises cold with any 2 cards and calling to the river... wait for big hands then just bet them never bluff and never slowplay. simple...

Don't bluff bad players and only bet strong hands. Basically play tight in these games.

Value bet, don't bluff, play hands that play well multi way, PP, SC, 2pair+.

I would buy in for as much as the bad players are buying in for.

I am guessing that "quite tight" wasnt tight enough. Play only premium hands and raise them hard. If someone raised in front of you to 3.50, make it 12 bucks to go. You cant make a play on these guys cuz they arent paying attention to what you do, so play very straightforward poker. If you play AK or AQ and miss the flop, get the hell out, because one of them played 93o and flopped two pair. If everyone is drinking you shouldnt (duh). If you do all this and still lose, maybe there is some cheating going on.

Raise only premium hands and limp with suited connectors, suited aces and smaller pairs and preferably in position, ldo. When you hit, valuebet valuebet, valuebet.
