Can anyone tell me the estimated strength of Rybka 2.3 free edition? I am using it for training for upcoming tournament play and was just curious.

I don't know. If you want the strongest free engine get Houdini, which is stronger than even the not-free Rybka 4 (and any other engine besides Houdini 2).

Well for training purposes, how strong do you need an engine to be? 99.9% of the time we will lose. I think the strength think is hype for us to buy the product. I was interested because some sources says 2900 and others 3012. That being said I realize that they can be helpful training tools.

Off topic, but why doesn't that list include Houdini anywhere?

Every list that does include Houdini has it at the top, for example:
