Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway
Who would win if Sheldon, Raj, Leonard, Howard and Penny played poker? And why?

For what are they playing? What poker variant are they playing?

FWIW, Penny is the only one who seems at all likely to have played before. Sheldon has an identic memory. Leonard would be likely to allow Penny to beat him in certain circumstances. Raj will be unable to verbalize actions or talk in general unless he is drinking which I assume will hurt his game.

They are playing no limit hold'em.

I think Penny would win too. Sheldon is terrible at lying, so I don't give him much of a chance. But maybe Howard knows some mecchanics, since he is realy into stage magic?

I don't know why but I have a feeling Howard would win.

Penny would win. They always let her win and Sheldon lose and complain in stuff he's supposed to be good at.

Probably Amy.
Sheldon reminds me of Dwan, so there's that edge...

In reality, Penny's ex Zach would probably crush the game, going on a fish-heater.

The show was interesting at first, then you realize it doesn't go anywhere and is a laugh track sitcom.

big big theory was cool back in its first season when I was doing a physics degree and my group of physics undergrad discovered the show and thought we hit a cult niche. then we realized it is among the most popular mainstream comedies on TV and was actually horrible in every way.

Sheldon was crushing Will Wheaton at a magic the gathering tournament until Wheaton angled him with the story of his mima. So i would say Sheldon is the best player amongst those mentioned in OP, although I think Bernadette would crush all since she has the most competitive drive in the show.
