Lets start off by saying in 3 days atleast I blew close to 600 bills, only god knows how many hands I've played but I know it was alot of hands ppl alot of hands, and just can not figure out, where it all goes bad, for instance I'll muti table at 25/50 or 10/25 level, and sit with min at some and max at others (the reason I do this btw, is so I can in a sense keep track of my-self), now I'm not good at cash, don't get me wrong I just prefer to play more mtts then cash, but once in awhile I'll dabble in cash, but when I dabble trust me it's usually not for the best (well maybe for u, lol, but not for me),now I've tried ever single thing I can possibly think of from just playing extremly loose/aggressive on some tables, (and by this I mean raising everyhand, regardless of postion, unless there's a reraise, then I fold but not all the time btw), to extremly tight, so tight that if I don't hit the flop after I call i'm out. Now somewhere in between these very different styles of play I blew 600 bills, I know there's something not right with this picture, The other problem I've been having is when I flop the nuts I can't seem to get anything back since my oppents either have seen my extremly tight side/ or my extremly loose/aggressive persona, wtf can I do, because i'm seriously ****ing pissed, because If I flop the nuts, I can't get shit(and that's me on a tight table), but on a loose table if I flop the nut straight, I either A) lose to a better draw, B) Don't get shit because they haven't connected C) They attempt the bluff, then I A reraise, which makes them fold, B flat call, check but there not willing to bet again. So once again what can I do really?

Yes yes alot of u will say don't play so aggressive but if I don't do that then how am I supposed to make my oppents guess what I have since they will only know that I would only come in with big hands and only big hands?

So I ask u all what am I doing wrong. Now you all may be like A)YOUR PLAYING WAY TO AGGRESSIVE, but I've done the opposite and it hasn't worked,

That's why they call it P-O-K-E-R!

Welcome to the world that is never figured out, only learned little-by-little.

I posted a thread, "Don't Fall Into This Trap" in Poker General. You may want to give it a read.

Good luck.

I liked it shine, but isn't that more or less same as being tight? and if that's the case then, if all the ppl at the table know that i'm tight, then how could I get them to stack with me, or to just donate somewhat???

If TAG is not making you money then you are at the wrong table. There are alot of fish to be had out there and you need to look for them and exploit them.
If the table knows your tight and have stopped giving you money, it's time to move on, that is what I do.

ah ic, the thing was with me, is it's a combo-of things, a bad player makes a bad move lucks out, yet calls me the idiot, there-fore leading my ego to take over wanting to crack him and only him, there-fore not leaving the table at all untill I go and break him, yet for some circumstances out of my control, I just end up being broken either by the same player, with another bad read against me or I make a bad read against another player, which in either case leads to me being broken once again, but will take that advice into consideration

You need to go back to the Hand Histories and analyze your play. What is really going on mathematically and emotionally. Sometime you think you are playing one way but feeling another. You might think no one calls your premium hands but they really might be getting beat by better ones. The only way to find this answer is to go back and do some thorough research.
Cash games are a different animal from MTTs altogether. Go to Card Runners or PokerxFactor and they talk alittle about the cash game process. Quite difficult. I have been easing into them playing very cheap.
