Is it possible to win a game of poker against a group of necrons?

I think an ork would be the worst, soon as he got a bad hand he would beat up the guy opposite him and take the other guys cards

Necrons would be awful at poker. They have no capacity to understand your emotions and they are incapable of creativity.

But becasue they are machines cant they calculate what cards each player holds over the course of the gane and use advanced logic to win?

Pat that askala, O-H-I hate this stupid state

Hehehehe... the subject is poker face(poke her face). Sorry childish i know but necrons would be great card counters. As for reading emotion as long as they have the opponent is able to show emotion then yeah. Got another question what would happen if two necrons played each other?

If two necrons played each other I recon that they would be so good at card counting they would always know when to fold and the game would never end. I dont think either necron would ever lose, neither would back down either since they dont need to eat, sleep, die ect. A never ending game

ammmm... why would a necron play poker... i always thought that the tomb world was just rows and rows of nonactive necron warriors...

[i]The tomb raider walks through the tomb worlds two massive gates... he knows he probably wont survive this... but if his theories are right then most of these necrons should not be moving, they should be deactivated... as he enters the main hall he notices... what is that... is that poker??? necrons playing poker... how is that possible??? one necron walks up to him and says "damn... now our cover is broken... sorry man for scaring your entire race with our calm death dealing robotic ways... but that is not really what we are like... we love to play poker... it was the game of choice before we became necrons and is still the best game in the world, and these green rods... they are actually glow sticks... yeah..."

Necrons have X-ray vision, and therefore can see what cards you have.

Creed would obviously win, as his Tactical Genius would allow him to infiltrate any card into his hand.

Eldrad is such a dick though, he'd spill beer on all the cards, smoke the whole dooby to himself, eat all the chips, and end up accidentally playing 5 aces. Also Creed would be a bluff master, so I see him winning.

Space marines are the best.

They're emotionless and embowed by honour.
They have helmets, so you can't see their faces.

Necrons don't play poker.
Orks are addicted poker players, but they are rather bad.

Eldar farseers would kick but. They would see what cards were going to be revealed before they were even dealt. And they could mind war your brain if they were about to lose.
