Default Playing expensive blind low stakes game

My local casino only offers 2 no limit tables. The one that I have been playing is a $50-100 buyin with $1/$2.50 blinds.

A couple of times I have gone down pretty hard with this game because the blinds make it hard to ride out the fluctuations.

The game tends to start of either super tight or fairly loose and eventually becomes quite loose.

Has anyone got some tips for how to play in a game like this. The opposition is quite poor, and many of them will chase you to the river with rags. However, I've been burned a few time when they hit something decent because it's so easy to be pushed all in when you've only got 40bb's in your stack.

Play stuff like AJ+/88+ hard and fast. You can also throw in some other broadway hands b/c TPGK is pretty much the nuts here.

Don't mess around with suited connectors and small PPs too much because you're just not getting the implied odds.

There really shouldn't be much chasing to the river because once you raise preflop and pot the flop you should be damn near all in.

Thanks claunchy. I think with the game I'm playing I might even get called all in!
