Default Cigar Store Game

After playing primarily in casinos - Commerce, for the most part - I infiltrated a NL game at a local cigar shop where there is generally plenty of money around, but the players are brutal - Play any big card and get their money in often with top pair, very weak kicker etc.

I sat for the first time on Saturday night, and though I played for only an hour - and lost $150 - I was totally thrown by their style of play. 6 or 7 see flops after EP 4X or 5X BB raises, and frequently 3 players will go to the felt in a hand. The game has a small buy in - $80 - but blinds are 2.50-5.00 and everyone at the table seems to rebuy every 10 minutes. After a few hours, there's usually 3 or 4K on the table - Not huge compared to the 10/20 I normally play - but pretty good considering how bad the players are.

My problem is this: I've never played in a reasonably big NL game with such a plethora of bad players, and it's frightening. I don't want to become a nut-peddler, but I don't really know how else to approach the game as any player can literally have any hand at any time. Maybe my first experience was flukey, but I'm actually a little worried about playing in this game.

How do you play NL against a table full of morons?
