If the characters of Avatar were playing poker...

At the end of the night, who would be the big winner?

    Riiiight.

    Anyway. Azula would be very good...as long as she kept winning. If she lost a few hands in a row though, she'd probably lose her temper. She'd also probably bet big, every hand.

    Iroh would be the best, hands down. He'd distract everybody with conversation and force them to make mistakes.

    I think Iroh would be a great player but he wouldn't make a lot of money, because he would only play hands he thought he could win; I don't see him bluffing or taking a chance on a crappy hand.

    I just thought of someone that probably would pwn all of them.

    ...Jun?

    I maintain that Azula would pwn. She is a brilliant liar, and hence nobody would be able to tell when she was bluffing. She is also a "people person" who is incredibly skilled at reading and manipulating people. Her entire life consists of measured calculations, so she'd be good at those. She is an insanely evil genius. She has shown that she has the ability to shrug off temporary setbacks and return to the attack with a vengance. Also, thanks to her incredible hotness, she is more than capable of pulling the James Bond trick and "distracting" the other players from their cards (or she could just get Ty Lee to do it).

    Pretty much the only person who stands a chance of resisting all of those is Iroh, and even then he'd need to be drinking tea. Sokka would be able to resist most of those, but would fall for the last one.

    EDIT:

    Bumi also has a chance of pulling it off - if he can resist Azula (New crackship - Azumi!).

    Hmmm, you might have a point. But would he be able to concentrate on his cards?

    Who's this "Jun" you speak of? Surely not a character from Avatar, because well there are absolutely no characters in Avatar by the name of Jun.

    Any who, how do you guys think June would fair?

    Well, of course the girl who does well in lying is going to win in poker. State in case, Azula of course. Azula should have been a main poll option, not an other option.

    ugh

    please go to Q&A and ask that question.

    or if you SERIOUSLY dont know who she is.

    ....

    look it up.

    and axrendale,

    azula will have a high chance of winning.

    but if ty lee and mai betrayed her during poker..

    you might not want to be there.

    lying isnt everything in poker you have to be very smart and dedicated to win.

    also.. SOKKA with his cactus juice would pwn all.

    and azumi is a great ship

    how about

    lyppa?

    lyla+appa=lyppa?

    yeah?

    ok.

    Iroh, Bumi, Azula.

    hands down

    paws down

    tails down.

    QFT. Iroh is the one person that has not been manipulated or deceived by Azula. He is the one person who could defeat her in poker...I suppose Bumi also has a chance. Although, I imagine his poker strategies are quite crazy and would confuse almost everyone.

    For further evidence that Azula would excel at a game like poker; I refer to you the finale of Book 2. Azula conquered Ba Sing Se purely by her ability to bluff and decieve everyone from Long Feng to the Earth King to Zuko. She played everyone like they were keys on a piano. More than half of playing Poker is knowing not what your own cards are, but what the other guy's cards are, and what he's going to do with them, and Azula would most likely beat everyone in that aspect.

    Toph would cheat, Azula could pass off a lie to anyone short of a dragon, but Mai's got the pokerface.

    Aang and Katara would be the worst off (expresive people).

    Sokka might try to find ways to mess with the others to make them loose focus and give himselve an advantage.

    As for Zuko, I get this image in my head of him mostly playing with Ty Lee and Iroh to pass time.
