No wonder you dropped $200 if you play some of those hands like that...

Read the starting hands poker strategy on the poker strategy part of this page. Invest some time memorising the hands and how to play them in what position, maybe even invest in a poker book.
Read through all the posts on this site, especially the hand histories and have a look at how other people play their hands. Learn how to bet (value bet, limps, raises etc).

Only after reading all of that would I then go back to playing with real money. Don't deviate from any plans you set (ie. if you tell yourself you will only play the starting hands labelled groups 0-7 on this site, only play those!). And definately dont play shit like 94s like that!
