Just Keep Losing...

I've read the Theory of Poker, and recently I read Dan Harringtons on holdem vol. 1 (have 2, but haven't touched it yet).

I would still put myself as a beginner, and the more and more that I think of it, probably the biggest fish alive for online poker play.

From harrington's book I learned to take into account position and play certain hands. I play about 20% flops average and sit in 50NL games with a decent bankroll to back myself up.

I try figuring out my opponents, but in online play it can be quite difficult and I sometimes have luck and sometimes don't in figuring out my oponent. When I play 3 tables it can be hard to do it.

When i'm betting I mostly take into account my pot odds, but have a lot of difficulty with hand odds. I'm pretty good once I get the big hand of keeping my opponents with me, without overbetting or underbetting (in most situations).

It just seems like in these situations when I win, I win small amounts often. But when I lose, I lose BIG, and usually takes my entire bankroll, and crippling me and making me wonder why I even play.

A few hand examples of plays I have done:

Idk, maybe I need to give some sections a reread or something? I'm just completely lost, I love hold-em, and have many friends who are quite successfull bringing in 40 an hour to 80 an hour respectively. I infact though am losing money and am just lost...

I wish I had like a 'tutor' or someone to help me when I play, to correct horrible..horrible calls that I make or bad reads. Or maybe I'm just not cut out for this game...
