Default how to get good at cash games (i must be terrible)

Ok, so I can win wpts but I cant win at 5/10 nl for the life of me. I have watched cardrunner videos over and over, reviewed a few good players hh databases, talked to a few high stakes pros about various hands and I still suck ass. I am about to the point to just give up and sit at my house and do nothing while the live mtts arent running. I feel totally lost. Hopefully this thread doesnt get locked in 2 minutes because I really have no clue what to do. If anyone has any advice at all on how to beat mid stakes cash games online, please please please let me know. Thank you for all the help. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

you're probably a triangle. it's ok though, I think it's a very widespread problem on 2p2.

Very good question. What is your history with online no limit cash games? How many hands, how long have you been playing, winrates, stats, etc?

the thing about cash games is that it doesnt matter if you lose a pot, so, basically, you just dont ever fold against over-aggro people. they'll bluff you stacks with nothing because they cant help it. thats pretty much the key, just calling and calling and calling.
