Welcome to our FORUM mate ... wish I could help, but I don't play much CASH myself. Although the same game, CASH games are played significantly different than an MTT ... the goal is significantly different and thus requires a much different strategy.

GL, if you need help here, just ask, Wally

Here's another link to a previous forum thread I ran into recently that you can use alongside the link posted by Joebob. What I like about this one is it provides not only great poker books, but breaks them into categories as well. On a side note, I had made mention of looking for a book as well and was recommended Dan Harrington on online cash games. I have not read it as of yet, but I assume from the quality of his other texts and comments on amazon, it's probably a good read.

hey thanks a lot for the help guys i am definitively getting Dan Harrington on online cash games, it looks like the perfect book for me from the reviews.

Don't get Harrington's book if you're a beginner... it really won't help you much.

I strongly advise BlackRain's book, here is one of the many reviews on CC for it: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/book-review-study-group-discussion-crushing-207076/

Just for curiosity, how new to the game are you? If you are just learning the game, do not be in any rush to riches. Spend a good amount of time here, looking over our threads and posts.

Along with any books you may get a hold of. There is a peculiarity about poker books, well actually about any 'how to' book, where the things you read in a vacuum, mean little. You need to have some real world experience to hang this info on. So playing the game is as important during this extreme learning phase as reading things.

I suggest play money for a while. No need to lose your cash quite yet, you will lose plenty during your 'schooling'. Ignore the harangues to follow about me recommending play money. They are as inevitable as clouds in the sky.

Joebob, knowing you are a cash player, and need new fish, does not alter my opinions. I know what play money can, and can not do, I doubt you do.

The whole play money sucks debate hinges on instant knowledge, which is somewhat akin to a small child picking up a hammer and saw and building a house using a comic book for blueprints. Before the foundation is even laid, he will have smashed 3 fingers and cut off 2 more.

Check out "Building a bankroll" by Pawel Nazarewicz, better known as Verneer at Cardrunners, for a clear strategy to begin your success.

If he has found his way onto a forum he likely at least knows hand values and what an online table looks like, thats about all play money is good for.
