online poker. any ideas how it can be more fun?

I just don't think I can get into online poker.

Heres my situation. I enjoy playing online poker. It's my second week - and I can grind out a good $10/hour in .10/.20 games consistently.

I just dont enjoy it - compared to "brick and mortar" games. Today I went to the casino - (the first time I have played cash games at the casino [compared to tournament]) either way I first played 3-6 Limit and I went up about 200 dollars after 3 hours. cashed out and left for 6 hours. I returned pumped up and ready to play. I purchase 250 dollars into a 5-5 nl, obviously I was shortstacked to an avg stack of 400. I did some grinding for the first hour then started to play aggressively in the second and third hour. Eventually I walked away with $1000. Its not even about the money. I just enjoy the game in person and I don't enjoy it online. So I think my online career is coming to an end. Any suggestions on improving the "enjoyment" of my online game. or else I might be stuck playing brick and mortar games 1nce a week. :S

hmm just thought of something that might improve the enjoyment for me.

team play - I have been reading about "team" play working on a team playing poker developing a team (especially the poker room ads), improving each others skills etc.. How would you get into a team / are there any teams looking for players. I have a $500 bankroll at the moment - not against increasing it if needed.

let me know any ideas you have - on how I can improve my overall online poker experience.

shuffling poker chips works for me

Live poker is just fun for me...it's not often there are games that can be really profitable...Playing online however is work, work, work. I only care about $$$ playing online...

There are ways to make online poker fun thou...Me and a friend often set up 2 Heads up tables one for me and one for him at the micro limits (under $1 blind), we then see how many people we can't bust per hour and how much we can make. He holds the record for busting 17 in 55 min. I only bustet 12, but I busted the same guy 3 times. Side betting i always fun, last longer bets in tourneys (I always lose those).
Play a sng and play every hand and see how long you last. There are so many ways to turn poker into gambling, just use you imagination.

I don't play a whole lot of live poker, so I wouldn't really know the fun level of online compared to live. I feel the most fun thing in online poker is doing well in a large tournament. I won one a couple weeks back with 2000 entrants, and it was the best feeling I've ever had playing poker.
