You can find play money tables at Stars with better players than the rank and file at P@cific.
1. It teaches you to get comfortable with the software, to play only good hands, to be disciplined, etc. Especially discipline, because it's the most important thing to learn.
2. To the extent that some people sell Stars' play money, there is something at stake, however miniscule.
3. It is a great confidence builder.
If you can't do play money, do Poker Academy, where you can play against bots in simulated conditions ranging from Party ring game to WSOP main even. Party has something called Poker Trainer, where you play limit against bots.
I started with play money. I played until I was absolutely sick of it. I played a ton of sites until I felt I was ready to go.
My first love is mahjong and I NEVER play that game for real money. I just don't think I'm that good. I play on a Japanese site where people play to get their names on a leader board.
