small problems

i play 0,02/0,05 blinds...not more.... i am trying to do the right play... but any bets i make...even shove in.. they chase the straight and they ussually get it... that is why so frustrating.... i am thinking... maybe if the flop gives flush and/or straight draws and i hit my set... dont get all in... bet the pot... if reraised call and see the turn... if all ok then shove... dont even know how to play these anymore cause it seems every time a flush has a chance... it get me and rocks me...

Read this Bankroll Management article.

You are underrolled for even 5NL. You shouldn't be trying to play 5NL until you have at least $100 (probably more like $125, honestly). Play 2NL, where losing a stack to a bad beat won't cost you 25% of your bankroll. Or deposit more money and expect to keep losing until you better understand the fundamentals.

Poker can be frustrating, but you have to understand statistics and variance. Your flopped set against a flush draw is a favorite to win, but you will still lose about a quarter of the time to that flush. And if you play enough hands, you'll lose that set to a flush draw 5 times in a row, simply because that's how variance works. Try flipping a coin and see how long it takes to get 5 heads in a row -- that's only a 1/32 chance for any given 5 flips, but if you flip that coin 200 times it won't be surprising to see 5 heads in a row.
