Looking at poker tracker, I'm in the red for SB, BB and MP2. (MP2 is a series of ridiculous beats though so I'm not worried).
Just wondering how to get in the green for SB and BB because each blind post puts you deeper and deeper, meaning you have to win some big hands in these positions occasionally to offset this.
My range is tight in the BB and even tighter in the SB.
Any advice?

about everyone loses money from the blinds.
Make enough from other positions that it doesn't matter

Full Ring - No
6 max - It's possible to show a small profit from the SB if your opponents suck.

I've seen people in the green from the SB
also being in the green heads-up from both positions is probably standard

You are going to lose money in the blinds, especially at FR like Fnord said. Forcing plays is only going to make it worse. I'm breaking even in both the blinds as if I folded every hand. I consider the blinds a price to play the game and I never try to force anything unless I'm positive it's a worthless SA with ATC. In that case, I just RR.

I'm in the green in the BB (11bb/100) but losing in the SB (13bb/100) after about 27k hands in my database playing 6-max. So I'm pretty much breakeven.
Like others have posted, don't worry about winning any sort of amount from the blinds, especially playing FR. Your profits should increase as you get closer to the button.

Advanced Question: Which would lose more? Always folding in the blinds no matter what the hand, or Trying to play out of position if you're a bad player?
|
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

If in doubt, fold. You're not going to hit a miracle flop too often and if you're a bad player, things will get worse when OOP. I can't count how many times I use to say "man, I wish I wouldn't have done that" from the blinds.

Depends on how much. To anyone who has yet to beat the micros I would suggest to play even tighter from the blinds than UTG, and not worry too much about steals.
The positional disadvantage is bad enough to warrant cautious play. Only defend against steals once you have a solid plan for what you're doing.
I want to see someone who's positive from the SB above 50NL excluding HU, and I want to know where he plays  That has to be some super passive game.
Just checked HEM 
I'm only loosing 10bb/100 @50NL from the SB... but yeah... it's pretty damn soft, and about half of it is short handed.
200NL and above I imagine it's more difficult
