Default Re: advice on play

The biggest mistakes beginners make are playing too many hands and playing too passively. I suggest you read HPFAP. Figuring out a solid preflop strategy might be a good place to start. There is a chance you were nothing but lucky for the past 6 months. If that is the case, some reading and study will put you on the path of lifetime winner.

Don't read HEPFAP(Holdem Poker For Advanced Players) yet. That book is geared towards midlimit games. Read Lee Jones' Winning Low Limit Holdem first. That book will have much more relevant strategy to the games you're playing in. Once you can beat low limit games and are playing 3-6 and 5-10 online, THEN read HEPFAP.

As far as how to correct your game, you haven't given nearly enough details to get accurate advice. It could be the natural cycle of cards, you could be playing too loose preflop. You could be taking hands too far. There are so many things that could be augmenting your losses that makes this post too vague. Post some hands here and we'll show you what you're doing wrong.
