Ben takes this
He made it to the finals of his world class poker tournament and lost to Flatman, only because all Flatman does all day is play poker

They would help a lot.... trust me... if you can see/hear a guys pulse rate it would give you a hell of an advanttage... just noticing the minor things a person is doing while in a hand tells you a lot about what they might have

wolverine will beat out thing. He can smell someone bluffing

see a pulse rate? hearing it i kinda would buy into although that's more dd's department not sure if logan is on par with him in the whole hearing area other than that i do think it would be outta logan and ben

Oh ya, Wolverine connects to the million fanboys in the real world, and reads there mind, so he can see what everyone has.

How does he see a pulse rate on a Rock man?
SpunkySmurph
Well, I think Colossus has the best poker face...
But Wolverine still takes it

He can still smell sweating for instance, and detect various signs of nervousness, bluffing, etc.

I'm assuming they will be in human form during the match... otherwise the cards would burn or freeze and break
Cyclops is the only one who wears spandex and he still has a lot of skin exposed ... Wolverine could detect changes in respiration/perspiration and see if blood flow increases to the face
lando005
forgot to mention it's texas hold em

Well I'm fairly certain that Scott is a poker noob.... which would lead me to believe that his breathing will change depending on the strength of his hand... plus I just never considered that he would get close to winning a hold 'em tourney

I'd bet on Ben too. He always seemed the experienced poker type. Didn't Grimm have a sig with him in it playing poker?
masterbruce
thing - his fingers are too big to grip cards, so he'll flip over his cards a coupla times, thus causing him to lose
torch - too much of a hothead and emotions make you lose
iceman - too young and inexperienced
juggs - dumb as bricks
cyclops - can't lie with a straight face to save his life
wolverine - veteran savvy, patience, instincts and competitive streak make him the obvious winner
colossus - see juggs
hercules - see colossus
Anyone care to dispute my analysis?

Yes, The Thing has already beat all of those guys minus Iceman and Juggs in a poker Tourney (he beat Spidey too which was mentioned in the OP.)

Yes. Iceman wins. He extends his consciousness to the ambient moisture around them and looks at their cards. His opponents would be COMPLETELY unaware, even Wolverine.
Edit: By the way, both Colossus and Juggernaut have proven dozens of times that they are actually rather intelligent and intellectual. Colossus much more so, but you get my point.

In The Thing #8 there was a superhero poker tourney with dozens of superheroes and Thing came in second to Flatman.

I see nowhere in the original post it saying anything about cheating. Iceman is the only one that could do it without the others knowing it. That's why he has the advantage.

Well if thats the case whats to stop Juggs from just killing everybody and stealing their cards

wonder how thor would do in a hold em tourny

Okay then, that's all I wanted to hear.
Then I say Cyclops wins. Being the most intelligent there, I feel he has the best shot. Yes, I know intelligence isn't everything in Poker, but I don't see how it won't help him a lot.
masterbruce
cyclops is not a good bluffer, he's too goody two shoes and too honest
besides, wolverine will play mind games with cyclops and get him emotional
lando005
cyclops isnt as good as ben or logan the top 3 there are ben>logan>herc

He couldn't kill Wolverine. Wolverine would just tap into his power source.
He absorbs all of his the fanboys souls, wich is millions, and then he puts it all in his claws, for one final attack.
You say I'm lying?
Check out Wolverine: Wolverinedoesn'thaveajobberaura, issue 2.
That should make most of your Wolverine hating arguments null now.
Believe me, I don't even like Wolverine, nor do I overestimate him, I just think that he beats Namor, Hulk, Iron Man, Spiderman, Violator, Lobo, Thing, Deadpool, Captain America, Black Panther, Cyclops, Colossus (both forms), Darkness, Conner, Hercules, etc.
I also believe that Wolverine stabbing Thanos with the IG wasn't pis, and I will use it in arguements. Same with him doing it as bone claws.
In all seriousness, Wolverine I feel, doesn't have a jobber aura, and he is also in the 2 tons range.

Eh, that's your opinion. I feel that Cyke is as good as bluffer as any. In fact, maybe even more so, since you can't see his eyes.

So? You just assume he's going to show his emotions. This is the man that's seen his own wife killed so many times right in front of him...he's not going to show poker emotion.

I play Poker 4 days a week, and I think Ben would be roughest to play.

Id say Juggs, petty criminals love 2 gamble
newjak86
I would put my money on either Thing or Juggs.
Both would be the hardest to read in my opinion. Jugg's has helmet which when it is drawn sometimes can easily hide his face from everyone and no one I think i reading Cain or Thing's body signs as they are both basically inhuman in body. Cain doesn't need to eat breath or sleep if he wanted to I don't see him giving any signs of emotion just like Thing.
Next I believe they would have the most exprience at poker. Thing for all the reasons stated before.
Juggs because he has been around every redneck and pety dirty bar around and one of the best games to play in those is poker.
So Juggs or Thing

his wife's come bac and died so many times now if i was him i'd just be fed up with it i mean come on now stay dead or alive she's become a bad rash that just wont go away, but that's another story i dont think he's experianced enough to beat some of the better players here
