I started playing the same way, only on PokerStars, when I first joined them years ago they gave you 2K play money chips, and if you lost they would give you another 2K to keep you going. I lost the lot every time I played, So I watched a few videos on-line and realised you cannot afford to see  every flop and you need to be selective in which hands to fold and which are worth playing,.
Within a matter of months I built 2k into half a Million and never restacked my chips again, now I think you have to buy the play money chips, but I never had to. The games used to play much like the freerolls in that you get the maniacs going all-in on the first hand etc, but they soon got down to the more serious players that just wanted to play Poker and not Bingo,
It does make the game seem easy, but the higher the limits, the better the players are, and if you intend to go from "Zero to Hero" it can be done with a proper Bankroll Management Strategy and a lot of patience, Some players stick to a 1% buy-in others may opt for a 2% buy-in, It doesn't really matter which you prefer, The important thing is to find a strategy that works for you and stick with it.
I once told a Friend that I had won $150 on PokerStars and he suggested playing 3X$50 buy-in games, and I said sure and lose the lot in one night! No thanks I will plod on with my 1% BR Strategy, It works for me.
