I think the play money tables should only be used to familiarize yourself with the poker software and get comfortable with how the action takes place, where the raise, fold, and call buttons are, etc.
Poker is one of those games that really needs to be played for real money, otherwise there is no real incentive for people to play correctly.
Even if you are playing 5 cents 10 cents poker, it is much more realistic than playing for free.

I agree with you 100%! I feel a lot of times when people are in the play money room, they mess around a lot. I mean yeah, I'm sure there are quite a few people that really play, and really try, and play just like they would in real life. But I mean we have to face it. If I can just go and reload my play chips whenever I want, want not go into one of those rooms and screw around, go all in with 2,3 and wait for some dumb person to call you.
I have tried to take play money seriously but you just get so many random wild calls you wouldn't get if you were playing with real money....so I tend to try and stay away from it unless I'm really really bored and don't have any money to play with.
