If you manage to double your stake, it comes out immediately; if you win and stay there, there's a 90% chance you'll lose everything.

Open your range significantly more - cash games really amp the value of 2 pair as a hand for example as a lot of players often over bet high value pocket pair hole cards.

get a feel for your table mates (are they tight or loose players?, do they have a lot of visual tells, etc).... this info is much more important than the 2 cards you hold.

My tips, open your range a little more, dont be afraid to change tables if action is slow, dont chase losses (obviously) and keep making notes on players, dont make it personal also if someone has you tagged in a game, it happens to all of us.
Also - look at the showdowns with interest and your own opening ranges my friend, i also often mix up bet sizing to keep opponents guessing.

Do your best to exercise good bankroll management. 50-100 buy ins for your chosen stakes is a solid foundation.

Don’t play cash, the best advice I can give. Too difficult to have a winning session. Play low stakes tournaments
