I need help :)

If you ask me, I think that the main problem does lie in your setup. My home game is pretty much the same set up, w/ a minimum of a 20 dollar buy in. Sometimes there are players who try to buy in w/ 10 and are buried alive before they deal 3 times. I reccommend lowering the blinds or increasing the buy in.

Furthermore, your story reminds me of a concept in Sklansky's Theory of Poker when he describes a game that he couldn't win. He was better than his opponents and the blinds were high relative to the limits. He later figured out that their loose and quite frankly weak play worked because of the blind structure. Sklansky would lay down a lot of hands during pots when his opponent was holding something like 10/q suited. He determined that he was a dog in that game because of that reason. This might be the case with you.

Not sure if that helped but hope that it did.
