The home game I play in sounds very similar to your situation. The game is extremely loose, and I think adjusting and playing a few more hands that you wouldn't usually is the right thing to do. Just like your game, these people know anything about semi bluffing, getting a free card, or anything else. I don't even think they know what a check-raise is. It is pretty frustrating, as I don't win all the time in this game, but should be, and don't know why.
