Home Game Advice

DeadParrot

I play in a regular home game(6-11 players) a couple of times a week and though moderatly successful (itm most weeks, winner most of that time), I notice that on occasion, it is damn near impossible to put people off a hand.
E.g, had aq UTG+1 AQs I made it 1200, blinds 200/400, 5 callers!!!
who at the end of the day had j4, k6, a2, pocket 3's and 10q.......cant remember who wa suited etc..
Now I know, You WANT people calling with that kind of ****e but the amount of times this kind of play is rewarded amazing, not to say, revolting
Suggestions on how to get around this???



edit: I'm being an idiot I think, they never raise, they just call...everything, anything....the only time I should be when I have the nuts

Raise a larger amount preflop until you get the preferred one or two callers.

Raise the buy-ins to the game

If they call with any old crap then raise far bigger with premium hands.

Also, if you win most of the time then why bother changing.

it just bugs me thats all, I should be winning all the time


Sure I'll take the advice, there's a game tonight and we'll see how we get on

Alternativly, I could just limp into every pot and go from there.........
