btw - I think the fact it was in a pub explains the play style. Lots of players "having a laugh". You are not going to get a proper game with that crowd.

My home games were like that until my friends, who I "forced" into playing got the bug properly, once they got the bug (took about 3 sessions) they started playing "properly" and now we have a fantasticly startegic game. (I knew one of my mates had got the bug properly when he said a few days later, "damn , I've been thinking about last weeks game lots you know! - damn - I have lots to learn!" :-p

Assistances' advice is spot on for a very loose game, and exactly right for PKR at lower stakes too - funnily enough! :-p - grab cheap flops quietly, then sneak in and clean out the fish, btu carefully, as you never know what you are up against!
