I've played a bunch of free poker games, and the game quality can best be described as utterly retarded. Consequently, the strategy to beat them is also super-retarded and doesn't really make for a fun game.

When I started out I made 500K in play money on some free site, thought I was a poker god. Played for real $10-$100 deposit at a time, and lost 1K. The free games are very different from real money.
