...who would win?
I've noticed the boards have been a little slow, so let's get some healthy, fun character discussion going.
Aang: I think he'd be pretty bad. He'd be afriad to bet too much, bluff, or get really competetive. After he lost a few hands, he'd probably just stop playing.
Sokka: He'd be all over it! I can see him becoming a compulsive gambler. After he would win once or twice, he'd get cocky, and when he'd lose, he'd just bet more. If he went to a casino, he'd be one of those people being dragged out at the end of the night.
Katara: Would think it was stupid and a waste of money (see "The Runaway"). Would refuse to play.
Zuko: Unlucky. He'd probably lose and get really frustrated, but keep playing. Finally, when he was down about ten grand, he would quit and go cry in a corner.
Toph: Probably the best one, she'd have no problem bluffing and betting. She's sneaky and could convince you she was holding five aces. She'd probably be the big winner. Someone would just have to help her "see" the cards, though.
What do you guys think? What about other characters, like Iroh, Azula, Suki, etc.?

Azula would win hands down. Toph cannot tell if she is lying (bluffing), so I am doubtful that the other characters would be able to figure it out.

Toph couldn't see her own cards... and Zuko is unlucky but he makes up for it he would be a good bluffer, Katara might not play for money but if she played for fun/strip poker she would probably do okay, Aang would suck yea, Suki would cheat lol

I'm going to have to go with Jackson5050 on this one, Azula would probably win in poker...I really don't feel like elaborating since I'm far too lazy at 10 am...

Poker isn't all about bluffing, so just because Azula is a good liar doesn't mean she would be good at poker. She has a one track mind and any intelligent player would be able to figure her out. Zuko has had some bad luck but that's not a personality trait that would prevent him from doing well. He's mentally strong and doesn't give up when things get hard, so even if he did get unlucky in some hands, he would fight back. Poker is all about patience and waiting for the right moment to strike. Anyone who has mastered neutral jing would do very well. Bumi would do very well because along with mastering neutral jing he has a clever mind. Thinking like a mad genius is what keeps your opponents guessing. Aang would have a good mind for poker because as an airbender he taught to keep moving and look at things from all angles. Unfortunelty I don't think he would be agressive enough to do very well.

Sokka would probably win. I was gonna say Azula but what the poster above me said is true. There's no violent answer to poker and her mind would be fixed on winning. Sure she could bluff, but if she lost it would throw her off. Actually, maybe Iroh would win. He's good at Pai Sho after all.

Azula would win, hands down. Toph can't tell if she's lying because Azula is THAT GOOD at it, so no one else could. Toph can't read her own cards, let alone anyone elses. Aang's too immature to be able to understand what's going on. Katara would feel bad when she won, and Sokka would get caught trying to cheat.

We kind of do know that. She can't see writing. It's been expressed many times, such as in the finale and The Runaway.

that's true. I think that Iroh, Azula, and Sokka are the best at poker.
