Set the difficult to normal, play "tight" (that is, only play good hands, don't go for straights or flushes), be conservative until you eliminate Strong Bad and Max, who are the loose cannons of the outfit, then play aggresive, generally it's a good plan to be conservative until you have eliminated two or three of the players.
Observe the players, they move in predictable patterns depending on how much money they have and how advanced the game is. And when you have a good hand, MILK IT, learn to manipulate the characters: for example, Max is pretty impulsive, but if he has a crappy hand he's more likely to go all in if you give him little pushes instead of going for an all-in immediately. Then he'll fold and you won't be able to milk him as much.
