Default How to beat passive tables?

I have started to play 6-max NL. After 1500 hands or so, it seems like the general MO at the low levels is people play really passive (I know that this is not a large sample, but it is what I got). Usually I see only small preflop raises with monsters, and then they try to trap postflop. Also, if I raise 4-6Xbb preflop, everyone will call. Never see a reraise (for instance, I had JJ on button, everyone called to me, I made it 8X bb and everyone called-rags flop, I played aggressive and AA from CO nailed me-after 100 hands, his pfr was 0).

I don’t want to fall into the trap of winning small pots (everyone will fold to CB usually) and lose big pots. From a theoretical poker viewpoint, the strategy I am seeing seems very beatable. What do you all think about how to beat tables like this?
