Some valid observations here.. That said, as a long time real world poker player I've got to point out that on-line poker (particularly the free versions) only superficially resembles real world poker played for actual money. The on-line variant is an all-in fest for bragging rights.
Go to a casino, sit down and give it a try. You'll notice the difference right away. The math is still valid (pot odds, implied odds etc) but the ramifications of pushing all-in with 7-deuce off suit looking to hit that 1 in 22,000 chance of flopping a full house have a considerably different feel when there's a couple hundred real dollars in the pot versus virtual chips.
I can agree, but not everyone can go to a Casino. I live in a country where there are only 4 casinos, and poker rooms are heavily regulated, for example.
