Playing against newer players

[mreinecker]

My friends and I get together several times a week to play poker at my house, or at one of their houses. I'm no expert on poker but I do understand concepts in poker and I thought I also had a pretty good strategy. But then I realized that any strategy I tried at the table wouldn't work. There's only one other good player who I play with, and the rest of them don't really know what they're doing. They play almost every hand, call preflop raises with bad cards, and don't know when to throw hands in. This brings the amount of luck in the game up to a very high level, and brings down the level of skill a great deal. What can I do agaisnt players like this ? Is the only way to beat them to wait for my cards and play them like I should ? I've realized bluffing doesn't work well with them either. If you have any advice, let me know. Thanks.
