new player on internet

[fold_ur_aces]

i am new to poker. just 8 months old. i have been getting better at my tourny play, online and live(b&m games) but i cannot figure out ring games online. people tell me just don't play, but i want to learn. i get seriously frustrated, not to mention the money i've spent trying to learn. does anyone have any advice to give me on how to succeed in online cash play. i am open to any suggestions.
