This may sound like beginner question,This happends often. I useally go in at 1/2-0,5/1 tables with 50-60$, play a couple of hands when i get something..kinda tight by sometimes a call to se a flop with small pairs, small suited connectors, Ax,10-8 unsuited (not often but to sometimes)
I maybe catch something like top pair, and take the pot. My money useally go from 30-60 up and down..but eventually my money gets eaten up by BB and watching a few flops, I sometimes bluff and get a little money back.. but i dont catch these big hands no more and i know that i dont play bad, fold when im beaten and bet when im think im ahead, have useally a good read. I havent catch a flush, 2 pair, straight, or trips for like a month now. Only pairs and middle pairs, what do you recommend that ill do? Im thinking of changing poker room

Welcome to poker.

The first thing that some people will tell you here is that you aren't properly bankrolled for 1/2 with $50. Also, where are you playing? If it's the 1/2 tables at party poker then stop right now and go somewhere else. They are horrible.

How much attention are you paying to position? If you are on the SB with T8o do you play it the same as if you're 2nd to act?

I would stay on the .50/1 tables until you increase your bankroll a little more. I would also stop thinking so much about bluffing at these levels, and focus more on the mechanics of the game such as position, odds, etc...

Hagakure- Ty, Im bankrolled for 1/2 tables but i used to play at 2/4 before but had a downswing and went down a step, Maybe i should go down to 0,5/1. Yes i pay alot of attention of position and pot odds, outs and a good read on people. Maybe i been bluffing to to much, not as much bluffing hard to the river but throwing a bet here and there and gain a little info. That could be my leak.. maybe pokertracker could reavel that

Pokertracker is well worth the money. There's so much that it can tell you it's amazing. It's very complicated at first though...take the time to learn it and make sure you have about 15k-20k hands to import before you can start making any definitive realizations about your game.

Personally I dont try to bluff at all on low limit tables like that. That may not be a good decision, but until I feel like I am totally comfortable with the basic technical aspects of the game, I will hold off on that stuff.
