Playing Strip Poker
Strip poker is a game of poker where the loser is required to remove an article of clothing. It is a very interesting variation of poker that although many people think about doing it, very few are brave enough to try.
Strip poker is not a single game of poker. Rather “stripping” is a method of betting. Almost all poker game variations can be played here but the most popular are Texas Hold'em and 5 Card Stud. The idea is that during the showdown, whoever loses will have to take off a piece of clothing.
To avoid unecessary riot and to play strip poker fair and square, you first need to define what counts as items of clothing and what's off-limits. You can count a pair of shoes, or socks, as part of it. Or even jewelries. The best way to keep this game fair is to make a rule that underwear stays on.
Many online sites offering strip poker don't really entail playing poker. Mostly they just give a set of 5 cards, and you'll hope that they're winning hands. Then the “stripper” will have her own set of (computer-generated) 5-card hand. If your card wins, she strips. But this happens usually 1 out of 10 hands.
Like most forms of poker, strip poker has several variations. Different forms of strip poker are designed to get the clothes off at various speeds.
Here are a few but most played forms of strip poker.
Strip Poker at Showdown – This is the fastest and simplest for of strip poker. When every hand goes to a showdown, every player except for the winner will remove an article of clothing.
