Depends of the freeroll. The 888poker freerolls in my opinion are 90% luck, because the blinds increase every 2-3 minutes, so, after a few minutes, or you fold or go all in. The regular freerolls are like the other tournaments, you still need luck, but much less.

Going to need a little of both. Giving a percentage to a luck to skill ratio would be a 100% lucky guess.

When you enter late you need lots of luck . If you enter early ,skill is more important because you will start with plenty of big blinds

As a rule, a large number of people play in freerolls and very many of them are ready to send almost any pile hand to all-in. Of course, there are a lot of such people at the beginning of the tournament. Considering this fact, I think that at the beginning of the freeroll, luck is needed more to stand with your AKs against, for example, 57o, and at the next stage you need more skill and strong nerves.

I think that in a freeroll you have 90% luck and 10% skill haha:D. The chances of winning a freeroll are minimal.
Depends a lot on the freeroll. I'd say for CardsChat freerolls it might be a little different but definitely need a good Bunch of luck too!

In hyper turbo freerolls it's about 90% luck and 10% skills.
Rest of freerolls in my point of view 60% luck and 40% skills

I think it is equally important to be lucky and have skill, also a lot depends on the players who play against you, because sometimes their behavior is not very natural and logical

I think it's both. You always have to wait 6-8 rounds before the many fools are eliminated. after that the game is enjoyable. If you get there :)

Freeroll freeroll strife, if a freeroll with a limited number of seats and a large prize pool, then there will not go all and sundry

and skill and luck are important in poker, it's just that skill has more percent than luck in poker, but sometimes you can run out because of bad luck and that's it:I CAN'T LAUGH—and skill may not even help

Fully agreed, skill count 15% and 85% is luck. If you bought your lottery ticket, you can hope only.
