I would recommend reading "Harrington on online cash games 6-max No-Limit Hold 'em". I did (twice). Other than that get HEM2 (or pokertracker is also popular, but I've never tried).
The book will help you learn to use the HEM statistics.
The other thing is: become a bum hunter... That is find tables with few regs and many bums. This is very important for your winrate (you can't draw blood from a stone).
One thing to do to avoid regs and find bums, is to check their PTR rating on the poker table ratings website.
The above has given me excellent winrates on NL4 6-max.

Posted by pinotte: I would like to learn the cash game since i dont play that and when i try i lose.
If aby of you have seen the PSO cash came course i would like your opinion or any other options you may have to learn the game. Thanks.
I read PSO cash game course, and if you figure it all out just follow what they say and try out... Ill suggest you to try with micro stakes first and if that is going for you than raise stakes, but dont jum to high because evry stake has diferent players and strategy is lot diferent when you r playing for example 0.01c/0,02c and 0,50c/1$ cash game... Also I suggest to you to read some you can find preaty awesome books, also you should find some videos of professionals that have lessons on youtube about cash game good luck pinotte

I think it's cash games only. No MTT or SNG data there AFAIK. They recently added tracking of pokerstars and full tilt players as well.
I only use the free player search to get the PTR rating of opponents. That is enough to see who's successful and who's not (try to avoid anyone with a rating over 40. This gave me a PTR rating of 70 on party, which is the max for NL4 I believe, until I stopped playing there a month ago).

Availability, opportunity to repurchase and variance reduction, make cash tables are very popular among regular players During a cash game, a player can get up when you want and take the money you have at that time. This does not happen in a tournament, and a player can only rise when their participation is over. Therefore, cash game players have greater freedom of choice of game
