Sometimes I just like to relax and play poker for no money at all. I have recently been playing the WSOP iPad app, which is well done and easy to use.
Often these play money games are pointless because everyone is all-in either pre-flop or after. It doesn't matter what they have, they just push all-in, making it more like roulette than poker. That's absolutely the case in this case too, but I've found that if you play the low blinds games ($2K Big Blind and under), the players are more apt to be acting like they would with real money.
I believe that those players deliberately choose those limits just as I do to avoid the silly "everyone in the pool" of the bigger games.

Playing tight
I stubbornly played TAG today in our tournament. Unless I had suited connectors or face cards/A, I folded.
I kept track of hands I would have won had I been looser. There was only one, where I had 10-3 off and 3-4-5 of hearts was on the flop and runner-runner 10's after. There was no way I would have stayed in after the flop even if I had been in.
There were two bluffing opportunities. That was it. I hung in to the next to last hand and lost.
