Operation Get Better

Thank you very much bode. Villain folds in both hands.

I thought I'd give my thoughts on why I think I am sucking. This probably won't be well written in anyway but I'll just write what is on my mind.

So yeah I think I do horrible in my medium pots, the pots where basically I cbet, get called and I have nothing or medium pair or something less than TPTK. I cbet basically air, made hands TP+/monsters or huge draws. Once I get called I feel as if I have to shutdown if I cbet air because I have nothing and they usually don't fold and will take their horrible hands to showdown. I feel like some definitely float me by calling my cbets and then betting like 1/5 pot or something really small and I fold with air and call down with like mid pair or something that loses a lot. I also feel lost when I get like minraised and I hold either TPGK or an overpair and whenever I continue with it I am sure enough beat. I played a maniac today who showed every hand even if it did not go to showdown and raised every hand preflop, called any raise preflop blah blah blah and I would basically have to keep folding when I didn't hit top pair because the one time I did hit second pair he just kept betting like he always does and I lose. I tried to isolate him when I had something good preflop but I miss and he takes down the pot. Maybe I don't go to showdown enough but it seems as if everytime I do I just lose to this type of player. The looser games seem like a great place to play but once you try to play more hands by raising their limps and stuff it's just remarkable how little cbetting works. And of course if I'm OOP and check they just bet at the flop. I'm usually in position but there are definitely times I feel a raise is permitted OOP when I hold like AK but then the board sucks. I have been told to just look at a bunch of hands in PT from the past but I feel as if my ranges are always flawed. I perform well in tournaments though because it seems as if no one really floats and it's that easy but I can't really stand the long hours of playing and then getting sucked out for you to lose on the bubble and stuff like that. SnGs are such a big part of my profits and that needs to change. I want to get better at cash. Any advice or whatever would be great.
