You will run into really crappy cards and there isn't anything you can do but bet the minimum, but if you feel or see lots of little cards then bet bigger. tip your dealer and your drink lady and you'll be fine.

Go to a Crabs table, pick the guy with the most chips and is winning, bet after him.

Depends on where and when you're playing. Where are you staying? The 5 dollar tables are out there, but they'll be packed...ask a boss where they are and they'll tell you.
If you want to play this game you'll need a bankroll to absorb the bad cards. 10 dollar table means 200 bucks min.

The reason it's not working is because even if you play every hand perfectly the odds favor the house. Either be smart enough to not play or smart enough to accept that you're going to lose.

Actually, they don't really mind it, unless you start winning a lot.
