While playing poker for free you can learn the rules of poker, learn poker hand rankings and maybe even start reading about some basic poker strategy.

You'll get to know the software, and you'll learn how to beat these loose and crazy players (which you'll encounter in real money games also, although less often). Although your opponents at the play money games will indeed play a very loose, maybe even a crazy style of poker, they are still a very valuable and cheap learning ground as long as you don't play very different because no money is at stake yourself. Some might say that, because there is no money at stake, people play different in these free poker games from how they would play otherwise and that therefore the educational value of these free poker games is very limited. Playing online poker for free allows you to learn the game and become familiar with the PokerStars software without having to worry about losing any cash.
