I think the common mistake people make is trying to play the same 'game'/style in cash games as they have done countless times in tournaments. You have to realize that cash games are a totally different beast.

You are playing with real money, yes you can afford to chase a little more often than in a tournament where you only have one 'life', but only if you have money to reload. Playing .10/.25 with only $20 is really bad. Not only do you not have a full starting stack to maximize value on your big hands, but you also don't have any reload money. Chasing a couple of draws for $2-3 and soon you find yourself sitting there with $10 and tilted.

I recommend you play .01/0.2. No, you're not going to win big money but you also won't go broke as fast and when you drop down to $1, you can easily just top up to a full stack. Also, read the cash game threads in here, if you are gonna be playing cash more often.

Lastly, if you really can't seem to get your head around cash games, just stick to tourneys. The game is always there my friend. You don't have to play everyday, if there is no good tourney on at the time you log in, go watch tv. It will be there the next day, and the next, and the next....

Gl and hope this helps
