5 super villians playing poker. Who wins?

It says he can change his hand before the betting starts. I thought that meant only pre-flop before any action. I guess it could also be before betting starts on any round.

He can only do it once per HAND...he can't change before the flop, and then again after the flop.

I go with villain 3...a 4-card flop (essentially) sounds very nice.

Villain 3 in a pretty big landslide. This villain is also the only one who is really able to escape the telepath's powers, because telepath doesn't know that he's going to be helped until it's too late (i.e. if I have 33 and the river is going to be a 3, I'm getting it all in on the flop to the best of my ability, and if you know I have 33 that only [censored] you over).

The A on the river guy might have more of an advantage if this is limit as opposed to NL, but he can't see a river cheaply enough for this to ever matter.

Villain3 was psychic. He knew the river card before any betting started.

Hey, me too! :-p

Anyway, I agree with Villian 3 having the most useful power.
