How to use an opening

Can anyone tell me a good way to learn an opening and how to use it. I have tried many many MANY openings and I end up loosing ever game by 130+ points but if i have a handicap (thus i need not do an opening) I lose by only 15-40 points.

So I need to work on my opening.

Any help would be great.

Re: Agathis or Shin kaya
