Comments: Apply Yourself!

It helps to play infrequently at first too.
Read the guides/books/etc and play for a hour or so. Then take a break for a few days and think about it and re-read the material. Try to compare your recent experience with what you read and work out what you did wrong and should do differently.
Then play a little more. Then take a break and do the same thing.
Perhaps work into it by only playing once or twice a week, and never for a long stretch at a time (3 hours +).
You really have to not only read stuff but think about and compare it to your experiences before it starts to sink in, and you have to give yourself the time to think about it properly without being distracted by actually playing.
Also, it's better to read too much rather than too little. Being able to look at all the different advice and compare it not only with your own game but with the other advice will help you identify the key points even easier, and will help your find strategy and advice that helps you improve the specific areas of your game that need it most.
