Dealing with being card dead

Hey guys, had a quick question for you. The last three months I've been playing texas hold'em with a group of 6-7 other friends. I come across a decent starting hand perhaps twice in an hour. I try to play tight as many of the other guys are sharks and super aggressive. What in the world do you do when you keep being dealt unsuited 2 and 7's.. 3 and 8's .. 2's and 8's .. J's and 4's, 4's and 9's, K's and 2's .. Q's and 4's and Q's and 2's.. lol. I'm not exaggerating here, this is exactly what I keep putting up with. If I keep playing tight and folding these I keep losing blinds. Everytime I tried playing the the flop I got overcards and get torn a new one by others with very decent starting hands. If I bluff regardless of how convincingly I get called on it and again I lose.

I've read a few of Dan harringtons books and I'm pretty sure my bet sizing, bluffing convincingly and calculating pot odds etc arent the problem. Its the crap hands I have no strategy of dealing with.

Oh!! I know! This one is easy > get better cards! Also, watch closely as your 'friends' are shuffling the deck.

If they are still calling you, you obv. aren't bluffing convincingly or else they'd fold. That is unless they are trying to lose their money by calling when you have the (supposed) best hand. Or.... they could be Daniel Negranu fans, I guess......"I know I'm beat, I call."

BTW, folding, especially if you're playing FR is the name of the game. If these guys aren't folding to your bluffs, you need to wait for better hands and value-bet them. See what they are showing-down with, and progressively widen/tighten your value-bet range accordingly.
