Starting over

Online poker..........What can i say.When I first discovered online poker I was very excited WOW now I can play at home get some needed practice and improve my game......Well sort of.I have accounts at most of the major sites and in the begining it was cool the games where good and the people played well.As online poker grew things changed,people played differently,They played a new game more like slots or bingo than poker.Play any two cards bet alot and pray.One of the things I liked about online where the freerolls,A cheap easy way to get some play in.These games are the hardedst to play good poker on,players go all in with anything,And I mean ANYTHING I have had aces cracked by 7 3 offsuit about a million times.And if someone says why are you playing that junk their answer is "It's free" or "It's cheap".This is what bothers me the most.If your going to play poker,play poker.The stakes the day the game shouldn't matter PLAY POKER.I try to play my game as well as I can all the time.If your a golfer you dont wear a blindfold on tuesday because it's not your regular day,You try to play your best everytime you step on the course.Why would poker be different?Maybe it's just me,All the time I've put in all the energy I've put in,seems to be a waste sometimes.I don't like to lose, and when I do, to what would be considered a bad play, it bothers me.Now the higher limit games are still pretty good and I still do well at the live games I play,And the live tournaments at my local clubs.But I am seeing these behaviors are starting to leak in there also.Now that is not all bad in the live games if you tighten up and play carefully they will self destruct.But in the tourneys it makes it very rough,the ups and downs are hard to survive.So now I have to learn all over I guess.Is anyone else having these experiences,please let me know.............Keep playing
