Do You Need Luck or Skill for Freerolls

[0546474]

Skill is essential in any poker tournament because you can't win a tournament just by luck!!! With luck you can win some hands but not the whole tournament!!!

With freerolls just get lucky in my opinion, as no one is risking any MONEY so its just a lottery.

I have won freerolls and the truth is that you play with premium and very aggressive hands..

In the Freebuy pokerstars tournaments (like the ones which guarantee 5/10 seats to $5.50/$11 etc satellites) you need way more luck than in other 'standard' freerolls, at the beginning especially. If you survived for a while then skill gets back to play imho, but surviving the 4-5 all-ins per hand at the beginning requires a lot of luck.

I believe you need both to play poker, but of course skill takes precedence over luck because without skill you cannot win with luck alone, but the opposite is valid, without luck it is possible to win if you have a lot of skill.

You need both, but I think it's 70% skill and 30% luck.

In poker I don't like to talk about luck... I prefer to use the word variance which better defines the calculation of probabilities... and I do believe that at least 80% should be skill and strategy and the other 20% variance play in our favor

The best players win the most but as luck goes they also go out first!

The 2 things. In these games where no one knows, luck is better to have on your side.

You need skill, luck and the patience of a saint👍

Do you need luck or skill to win Freerolls?

No matter what skill you have, there is no chance to win freeroll without luck)))

 

[Stringy]

think the main thing is patience but you also need luck to go against who go all in whit 72o when you have AA

Do you need luck or skill to win Freerolls?

First of all, you need luck. But your skills and experience improve your chances. However, I think that at least in freerolls, luck is very important, considering that most players are just playing bingo.

IMO it's impossible to win a freeroll without a bit of luck. It is to say that variance must be on your side.
You will face a lot of all-in, especially during the first 20 minutes.
So you need to survive this period with enough chips to be able to use your skills and play a profitable game when the shoves fest is over.
In a freeroll I think the percentages are about luck 65%, skills 35%

 

[lyki67]

Definitely luck and skills. You must sometime have luck in tourney with many hundreds or thousands of player. But, skills and patience can help....Sometimes....

 

[dreamer13]

For some reason it seems to me that tournaments with a very large number of participants are luck in the first place, and skill only in the second. And the final table is a duel of lucky players who will measure their skills for the first place of the MOST SUCCESSFUL, because the fact of luck in the hand cannot be ignored!)

 

[Grabobbe]

A lot more luck than paid tournaments for sure. Especially the fast ones. Hyper tourneys are mostly luck, unfortunately… 😕

 

[Comboss599]

You need both. You can't win without luck and you can't win without skills so both are important.

 

[toolmind]

You need both. You can't win without luck and you can't win without skills so both are important.

..not so easy🥲 and 'only' 3rd.

 

[uravnobeshen]

I'd say both but try your best.

 

[serj537]

Freerolls are like lotteries. It's just up to you to decide when and what to go all-in. I think skill comes into play at a later stage of the tournament.

 

[CryptoBlood]

Both is important in freerolls but if you are going to play on bad hands and all in too often and if you are bluffing too much then it depends on skill much more then on luck because luck most time is not important if you play terrible.

 

[waitandblead123]

You need skill and skill

 

[micalupagoo]

I would still say mostly skill, there’s luck in any game at any level, but skill against the other players will always win you more👍

 

[rybcia19877]

i have 95% luck and 5 % skill, and I win sooo many freeroll in unibet and 10 freeroll in pokerstars
