Default How to Beat a 2-5 Game with $100 max Buyin?

Guys, this is all we have available to us in the Tampa area, and I've been giving this a ton of thought but I really want us to hash this out and talk about an ideal solid strategy to play this game. I personally hate this structure and think it's borderline unbeatable playing "poker." It's loose aggresive and a 4x raise will be called by 4-5 players everytime. Sounds Juicy eh? The problem is the schooling factor.

The only way I can really think of how to play this game with the least amount of variance is playing AA KK AK and even QQ is borderline. Raise 6-7x and push the flop if no overcards come or you hit top pair with AK. And the caveat to that strategy is, the blinds will probably eat you away before you get one of these hands.

Even set mining with med pairs is unprofitable if you only have $100 and the pot is raised 4x preflop. You can only play 5 of these pairs and miss before your out, and you'll only hit 1-8 times. So your gonna have to be running good to score a big win when playing this short.

Thoughts? I know this structure is a joke, but I would like some dialogue on this. Most of these games are loose aggresive and raised 4x preflop with 4-5 callers preflop.

Anyone disagree with my basic strategy on this? Discuss Please. The only reason I'd consider playing this at all, is because the players are just decent to downright horrible and a lot of gambling junkies.
The game has very few good players attempting to play this, due to the variance.

Thoughts?
