I'm fairly new to online poker... of course meaning I lost my first $100 deposit trying to bluff 4 people in a NL hand before finding this site 
What I am doing is forgetting long term profits for now, and actually trying to learn the game. For my money that means <$10 sit n gos @ Pacific. I get to play and see a lot of hands and it doesnt cost me too much.
I'm now at a stage where I get in the money in the vast majority of 5/6/10 or even 20 player S'n'Gs I play in by just playing tighter than any good player here would suggest (Only play pocket pairs, or picture cards suited and get the hell out if the flop doesnt help - and ONLY raise hard if I have the best possible hand).
It usually means that I'm behind in chips for the endgame, but at this point I loosen right up, and use the fact that my opponents have seen that I'm a rock to get it back to evens.
The problem is I can see that I'm going to have to totally change my style of play when I get the balls to go near a no limit table again, but at least I'll have actual experience this time, instead of "I just watched WSOP on TV and I am clearly a poker genius and can retire by next week" ability.
