My take
Remember, poker is a game of luck and skill. Over time, the luck evens out, and the better/more knowledgeable player will always win more. If the goal is to win $, you want to be playing against the least informed, least skilled opponents possible. Experienced players aren't going to misread their hands or call with a low flush thinking they'll split the pot.
Against loose players and calling stations, pre-flop raises are essential, not useless. Use them to build the size of the pot, put pressure on your opponents, and induce bad calls. If they aren't the type to re-raise, all the better. You should be raising every time you enter the pot with a premium hand. Save limping for when you are in early position with speculative hands like Ax suited or suited connectors. Classic typo

The last time I was invited to a home game, when we sat down, they tried saying the blinds go to the right of the button and we go counter clockwise.
 I haven't played in a game like that since. |

I take a lot of pride in the home game that I run. We do a $5 NLH tournament with pictionary and cash games as side games (no betting on pictionary
).We get a lot of "different" playing styles. My starting requirements are really high if I am opening a pot in early position (early in the tournament. Once the chips have moved around a bit, I get more involved. It is a mine field though. I find I need to play very close attention to the kinds of hands that different players will call you down with.

My home game is somewhat similar depending on who shows up... we do have a couple guys that "get it" and understand at least the basic concept of starting hand requirements, pot odds and the like. But we still do have some guys that play ATC and will stack-off very light (the "keep you honest" mentality). At first it was hard for me to bite my tounge when someone made a horrible play, but I've come to realize that some of them are just there to have fun with the guys and get away for a few hours. So, they don't need someone telling them why they played it wrong because (1) they probably won't get it anyway, (2) they might not even care, and (3) I'm happy to let them play poorly and take their money over the long run.
