I have been doin fairly poor recently and as such I googled just a basic 2nl guide and stumbled upon Philthy's lol which after reading was meant for jokes. So fellow cardschat members can you guys share with me basic pointers for beating 2nl so that I can build my bankroll

don't slowplay value bet BIG, don't pay off without a good hand, don't bluff, have patience, concentrate on your game when playing, post trouble hands, read other threads and ask a lot of questions. Do that and you will be at 5nl in no time ! Also you can read some books.

i dont know how many tables you play, but the secret is until your bankroll is exceedingly high dont play more than 2 tables you will improve by getting into the habit of extracting more info.

theirs not really any correct strategy depending on the dynamics, just watch your table and exploit their leaks.
me personally i'll get involved in alot of pots with the players that check fold or cant play strong wen they miss the boards, they become predictable,

and just play a solid range against loose fish.

also think back have you been playing alot out of position, maybe to tight oop and losing out on pots,
or maybe getting yourself into a ruck just focusing on some area's and forgetting to widen your game - i sometimes do this and overlook my image as one table my vary to how im percieved effecting my respect in raising or having to much respect losing value

Just simply play a solid ABC game. Don't bluff and just value bet big.

Which starting hands do you think I should be aggressive with all the time and which hands should I limp with preflop. I hav a fear of raising preflop cuz the others always reraise me and I end up folding

i recommend you read some books, play tight aggressive at this level you don't need to be getting too creative to be making money, make sure your not putting too much of your bankroll at the tables first of all and first try to master playing 1 table at a time, if you feel comfortable and are doing well move up to 2 tables but this is only when you are beating the game consistently, and be patient and try to play as many hands as possible therefore minimizing the effects of bad beats over the short term has on you
