One thing you have to understand is that most of the players at your level aren't worried about pot odds. If they have a draw, a lot of times they'll call your all-in and see what happens. So while what you are doing is correct, you need to prepare for the fact that they will catch occasionally. That will annoy you to no end.
Just like the fool who beat you with the 8-9. It sucks, but you did the right thing. If you have A-A, you're happy to get it all-in pre-flop when you KNOW you have the best hand. After the flop, you can't be so sure. If they call, hey just know that you'll win most of the time there.
I only play Poker Stars for cash, since it's the only place I've got a bankroll. It's certainly the best place to play in my opinion. More people means more games to play. I have played on Carbon but it's hard to play there because it takes so long to get a table.
