Re: I feel guilty being agressive and winning money

I feel guilty raising all the time and winning their money. They usually do a minimum buy-in for a table and end up broke in 5 minutes

I used to be the opposite of this. Playing Party's .50/1 6-max tables I would frequently see someone sit down with an odd dollar amount that was a little smaller than was typical for the limit. Suspecting that this was their last few dollars on the site - and knowing they were about to lose it with their loose passive play - I would want to be the one who took their last dollar.
Eventually this urge wore off. I don't take anything at the poker table personally anymore. My opponents seem more like puzzles to solve than real people. I don't know if de-humanizing people on the other end of the internet connection is a good thing for me as a human being, but it sure is good for me as a poker player.
