"Could learn what the stats mean" is a good first step.

UGH. You will invariably have a hand that resembles every HH posted on 2+2.

No. Hand histories are about the hands. The stats given are helpful of course. But lots of HH threads begin with...."2nd hand in, I have no stats on anyone". And to go one further, you can create your own.
I expect your reply will be some variant of "except it is boring to play one table and take copious notes." I would ask you in return, do you want to crush your stakes? By filling notebooks and then comparing your own generated stats on your opponents.... you will likely find patterns
You have asked in the past about how to multitable. Terrible thought for you as you are still learning how to play.... and more importantly! without a HUD, you will be SIGNIFICANTLY hurting your (possible) winrate. Good multitablers rely on their stats. You don't have that option on WSOP Nevada.
You say NOT having a HUD is hurting your winrate. Hogwash. No one on your site has a HUD. Yet I expect there are consistent winners.
[[as an aside, without a HUD and the ability to review HHs...you really are in the dark about how much villains are sucking out on the river. It is called selective bias....you remember the losses and do not remember the times you had the SAME hand structure and never got to showdown because villain folded. Combine those wins with the times you DO get to showdown and win...... probably will converge to the norm after 100K hands-ish.]]
Good luck...and as Mr Big Stack said, you are not alone. Others have had the same experiences as you. You are probably a losing player; no shame in that. Enjoy the game as you learn. Because you don't have the stats, you can't prove that you are a winner....all we (and YOU) can do is look at your declining balance.
