Deathstroke Vs Spiderman Vs Batman Vs Midnighter Vs Daredevil

So who can win in a high stakes Texas Hold'em Poker tournament.

Spiderman with his Spidersense, Deathstroke with his enhanced mental abilities and strategy, Batman's master detetive skills and strategy, Midnighter's outcome predicting computer, or Daredevil with his enhanced senses and intuition?

Normal Texas Hold'em rules, powers are allowed but not outright cheating.

What? I don't... Hmm...

Don't know how well Peter's spider sense would do him here since Poker isn't exactly a threat to him. I'd have to choose between Bruce or Slade.

@Deranged Midget: He has used it before in poker.

Batman and his lie detection device versus DD's built in lie detection device versus Spider-Man's spider-sense versus battle computer detecting all probable outcomes versus Deathstroke's use of 90% of his brain ... I'd say all the above could read a bluff, count cards and predict probables so it boils down to pure, dumb luck.

Pick a card, any card ...

Midnighter.

@TheAntiReVamp: Staying neutral and all, so i will not agree or disagree, but why do you think so?

Not only that...but he gets it wrong anyway. If it were a fight it would end up between Midnighter and Spider-Man...and Midnighter would take it. 
 
But this is a poker game and thus isn't a battle...and therefore it doesn't belong here.

Midnighter should win. Slade in second.

Deathstroke defeated the Justice League..

(Deathstroke can defeat the devil himself)

LOL he didn't read it even after he was told.

Wow. ... This is actually pretty tough.

Well Batman and Midnighter can lower their heartbeat rates to throw DD off and i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to outsmart and outmaneuver Slade. The real battle would be between Midnighter and Batman. At first glance you might say Midnighter because of his powers, but if you remember in Grifter and Midnighter, they didn't work so well for him when an unplanned variable got in his way. So if Batman had prep (oh yes) and somehow knows this, i'm sure he can throw off Midnighter.

Daredevil's detection abilities also rely on his nose. He has stated that when people lie, their scent changes slightly.

In that case I would have to say Daredevil takes this.

Didn't Slade state that he had complete control of every function in his body?

Really? Hmmm... I don't see anyway to counter that.

Daredevil can read with his fingertips. When he deals he will know what cards are dealt. This will give him the edge.

It wouldn't work on Slade he has complete control over his entire body and it's functions.

There is no way any human can lower their heart rates enough to throw off DD. He's a significantly better lie detector than Logan who can hear repressed ninja heartbeats from behind closed doors.

It's safe to say no one's getting away with bluffing at this table.

The man with the battle computer should probably come closest to playing the impeccable game, followed by the dude who uses 90% of his brain. Though my gut tells me Batman's the one to beat here ... despite being the apparent underdog. Why? Because he's the damn Batman.

@robertloucksjr: they are not dealing the cards themselves they have a dealer. Just to cut down cheating.

Midnighter's advantage is too great. I'm pretty sure he takes this.

If the players in a Texas Hold-em are fairly evenly matched then it is as much luck as anything, and no matter how good anyone is nobody would win every time, or even most of the time. Overall I would give this one to Spiderman. This is my guess at the average winning percentages and my reasoning:

Spiderman - 30% - He is the only one with any form of precognition, and that is a massive advantage. His weakness is that it won't help him much until the final card, so he takes a risk when he stays in a big hand without knowing how it will turn out. But he is smart enough (has collaborated with Reed Richards, and added value!) to play the odds very well to keep him in the game until his spider sense kicks in to give him a huge advantage.

Daredevil - 25% - Can't be bluffed, at all. This will get him to the final two in most games. But then it becomes mostly luck, and he will only win half the time.

Midnighter - 20% - He will play the odds the best so he will win fairly often.

Batman - 15% - He is smart enough to play the odds well, and his detective and people-reading skills will help out with detecting bluffs.

Deathstroke - 10% - I use 100% of my brain, as do almost all of us, so using 90% means he is mentally deficient.... But I know what the writers are trying to say, so I will treat him as being very smart. So basically this guy is smart enough to compete well, but he really has no special abilities that help in gambling aside from being smart. But just being smart at a table full of smart people who also have special abilities to help them leaves you at a severe disadvantage.

As to actual combat, Midnighter wins since he has the best overall combat superpowers and skills. Spiderman second, then Batman or Deathstroke (toss up), and finally Daredevil.

Deathstroke or Midnighter win this. Some of you are so uninformed of Slade.

i say slade,he plans out everything...and when he does that he is unstoppable and remember he is arguably the best tactician (well 1 of the best)

and at arentol,you really have your calculations off,because the 90% brains thing is assuming everyone uses 10%,of course it's a myth,so assuming that we only use 10,he uses most of it...you don't really understand that at all,and comparing yourself to a comic character who can snipe you off on your computer is pretty,stupid (but he's fake so i guess it's not,but still,fake character)

also midnighter has precog as well,but again variables and etc...
