I have no idea. But you should start off by stop losing.
Look over your game. What kind of hands do you get your big losses with? (There is some sort of pokersoftware that can help you with this.) And why? Stop playing them, or play them differently.

Which soft are you talking about? And would it work for Omaha?

Guys don't think about what you should win but about the game. You think first about the game and then about what you should per hour. At cash game if you win about 5 BB/100, it's good. At SnG, a good ROI is between 10 and 15 %, I think.
Read strategy articles, spot the fishes and you'll win

You have got PokerTracker 3, and it's free for a 60 days trial, it's working with Omaha and Hold'em.
Personally i prefer Hold em manager 3 to PT3; its a lttle more complex, but once you find your way around it, its an irreplaceable bit of software Also, from my experience i found that the most important, and yet disguised, factors in making a consistant profit is your state of mind and psychology. NL is a psychological game, you must eliminate TILT, it will cut hugely into your profits and intesify all your downswings; whether it be winners or losers tilt, any form of not keeping a straight and level head is -ev.

Posted by schwabo: Hi,you put 10 $ and when you are on 20 cash out,something like that
dont think its a good idea to do hit and run like that too often, if you are serious try building a roll. this way you are letting variance decide your bankroll, lol

Exactly. You should run away only in case you re losing. If your winning you should play. Fun fact is that lot of new players do it precisly opposit playing a lot when they are losing cause they want their money back(aint gonna happen that day) but on the other hand running away as soon as zhey doble up and then in a long run they re wandering where are their money.

You should read about what ROI (return of investment) is and calculate your profit yourself, because the payout structures at SnGs are different from MTTs. Ex: at a 9-10 man sng, if u cash only 3 times at first place ur gonna get profit, but that is quite hard, ergo...the ROI is more accurate to see how u stant with your game. - at MTT the ROI when you cash is so high, u could lose about 50 buyins and get one first prize and still be way ahead on your profit. Right now i hae 106% ROI on MTTs at partypoker, although my profit isn't big, just 30$..that's just an example, you should check on it yourself as I said.
You aks for 3 completely different Gamestrategies Cash / SnG / MTT
Where have you lost most money ? Just stop to play the game you lost most and learn more about it. If you lose slowly maybe think about a rakeback offer, this could turn you in a winning player but really think about your game and stop your leaks.
Hey all! If you want to live on this you have to be very good because many people play poker. When I started playing with years before I was eying the big tables. I collected the dollars diligently, I lost it under some evenings then the NL1-2 dollar ones on tables. It realize through me at what the stake is taller, it more trained the adversaries, I am good vainly so, if I am not lucky in the deciding situations. The bigger stake may yield more money, but you expose yourself to a much bigger spiritual load (stress). We want to avoid this since our part was from this richly when the chief found us for all trifles punctually.

Well, if you play micro stakes (what begginers usually do), i guess your leaks (main leaks at these tables) is to play to loose/aggro, make hero calls, and try to do sophisticated moves. Even if you got small imperfections in your play, you should be winning money if you play TAG basic game. If you dont know about it yet, read articles, there are tons of them on the web.
