I've gone a bit longer than I thought I would, but this is a topic I am somewhat passionate about. I love the game and I'm not very happy at the state it's fallen to since the Moneymaker boom (no offense Chris). To summarize:

* Only play freerolls and micro games for the fun of it or to learn a new site. It's not worth the aggravation otherwise.

* Move up to real money games as soon as you feel comfortable with your skills and can afford it. Having real money at risk has a wonderful way of earning a player's respect.

* Play live tournaments as much as you possibly can. People are much more likely to play proper poker face to face, without the anonymity of the computer screen.

Don't let the occasional bad beat get you too discouraged. If the only way you lose is to a bad beat, it means you are consistently going in with the best hand and are well on your way to a winning poker career.
