Um, well pretty well anywhere actually. The majority of sites have play chip tables.
When you want to go for some real money, most sites also provide some sort of freeroll tournaments with (usually) small cash prizes for the top place finishers.
But be careful with freerolls. Read the cashout terms and conditions very carefully. (Not all sites make finding these easy!) You may have to either play a large number of cash games in order to be able to cash out. You have to make a deposit before you cash out. You may have to do both.
When selecting a freeroll also be careful. The big sites have many thousands of entries, so your chances of winning, or even winning enough to be useful (10 cents is no use if the minimum buy in to a ring game or tourney is much more than that); and the tourneys take anything up to 5 or 6 hours to play. So sticking with smaller sites gives you a better chance of winning, with a lot less effort. BUT, in the current political climate, smaller sites are more vulnerable to closure, which usually means bye bye winnings. A lot of us have been stung this way, but so long as the sums involved are small, it is not that big a deal. So don't keep too much on line at once.
