its a good way to start but not the best in my opinion
its good getting some experience under your belt but even for tournaments, freerolls are notoriously loose as people dont care because they didnt buy in
playing with buddies is a good way - as you could be up against anything, plus its always a laugh
i still think people should bit the bullet and at least make a small deposit so that they can play at the 1 cent tables or more if possible. Its difficult to learn the game if your playing play money/freerolls etc as people arent doing what theyd normally be doing if they had paid - some are and take it seriously, but so many just go all in with trash and dont care because they havent paid anything
when youve got your own cash out on the table up for grabs and not play money - then youll see what pokers all about
