About once or twice a month my friends throw a home game where I deal and play. The first time we did this since I have some dealing svhool experiance I was made dealer and I offered to deal only and not to play but I would gratefully accept tips for dealing the night.
This is the first time we did this, about 1 hour in after getting around 8 dollars in tips, I asked is it ok if I play? They said sure you don't have to just deal, play too no problem.
I didn't buy in, I used my "tips".... by the end of the night I had 120 bucks. Now we/they all joke about the night where I took them all with only the tip money I got from them for dealing. Some of them don't tip me anymore
After about a year of this, ( I buy-in now, only did the tip thing that first game) I've only lost my buy-in once, broke even twice and average triple my buy-in most games. Home games are differant, my friends play too many hands, drink too much ( I don't drink), and haven't a clue about position, though I've tried to educate them a million times.
Last week was our first tournament set up, skill came in 2nd <<ME, luck came in first, my buddy kept drawing out on the turn or river to take out the best hand pre-flop/flop.
Anyway with all the information that you have on your buddies you should be able to do well in your home game.
Pick on Linc, Damien, Tim, Christne and Brendon, use position and avoid the others until you have the stack, hand and position. Use the image you've developed as the official "worst luck" player to YOUR advantage, if you win a big pot say; "you know even a broken clock is right twice a day" so they don't catch on to your focus.
EGO can be a huge factor in home games being that your playing close friends, check your ego carefully and often. If the game isn't going your way recognize that, you know the game, sometimes a bad run is just a bad run. Get'em next time or the time after but if your losing all the time, it's probably YOU, ego, bad decisions no self-control.
Good Luck
