This is a card game that some people like to talk about or imagine, but is probably not so often really played. The basic idea is to play a game of poker in which the losers have to remove items of clothing.
There are a number of different ways in which this can be organised.
5 different online emulators are available for Strip Poker II. These emulators differ not only in the technology they use to emulate old games, but also in support of various game controllers, multiplayer mode, mobile phone touchscreen, emulation speed, absence or presence of embedded ads and in many other parameters.
- Play a game of poker without betting - maybe draw poker with a showdown after everyone has drawn the cards they need. The player with the worst hand (or maybe every player except the winner) must remove an item of clothing. This version is described in more detail on the Sunshine Nudist Club site.
- Poker with betting. The levels of bet are various combinations of truth, dares and removal of clothing. Again, details can be found on the Sunshine Nudist Club site.
- Play poker in which each player has a limited supply of chips. Anyone who runs out of chips has to remove an item of clothing to buy more. This version could be rather slow in real life, but it is the basis of several Strip Poker computer programs.
- Another version of Strip Poker is the basis of an American television show. It is played between two teams, two men against two women. The teams take turns to ask each other questions: if a team answers correctly they choose one of two cards to add to their hand; the other team gets the other card and removes an item of clothing. Here is a more detailed description from Wikipedia. From 2001 until late 2003, Finland's Subtv had a similar program called Räsypokka, hosted by Jaajo Linnonmaa. Unlike the US version of the game, the Finns allowed complete nudity on their show. I am told that hundreds of pictures from Räsypokka are available in the stripgameshows Yahoo! Group.

Free Poker Card Games Online
Strip poker is a party game and a variation of the traditional poker where players remove clothing when they lose a round. Any form of poker can be adapted to a strip form; however, it is usually played with simple variants with few betting rounds, like five-card draw.[1] Strip poker can be played by single-sex groups or by mixed groups in social situations and intended to generate an atmosphere of fun, and to lighten the social atmosphere by the removal of clothing. Sometimes the game is played to heighten the sexual atmosphere, though the game itself is regarded as non-sexual. Like other adult or adolescent party games, activities besides removing clothing and playing cards might be involved. ('Truth or Dare?' type options are often included.) Strip poker has also been adapted for a person to play alone, either by use of video games or online; and several television shows have been based on the game.

Rules[edit]
The rules of strip poker are flexible and intended to generate an atmosphere of fun in an adult or adolescent group.
Generally, each game starts with players wearing the same number of articles of clothing, though that is not necessary. Some groups allow women to wear more clothes than men. Strip poker is usually played using 5 card poker instead of texas hold em. The round of poker is played normally and either every player except the winner strips an article of clothing or only the worst performing player of the round strips an article of clothing. Strip poker can also be played with Hold em' poker, using articles of clothing to bet.

Strategy[edit]
In some rule sets, players who fold before the flop are not required to remove clothing. As such, a player who is uncomfortable removing clothing (or, more commonly, a player who does not want to remove all their clothing first) can simply fold very often or every time before the flop, essentially playing a 'tight' pre-flop strategy. Using this strategy, a player could stay clothed for the entire game simply by folding their hands.
Strip poker requires a different overall strategy from poker played with betting chips since the maximum loss on a hand of strip poker is (typically) one item of clothing. In a betting environment, a player who stays in the pot with a weak hand is liable to lose many chips in a single hand. In strip poker, the risk of staying in a hand is significantly limited, so players can play hands with lower probabilities than they would in a cash game. For example, in a cash game, because it occurs only 8% of the time, an inside straight draw might be a poor hand to play, hence the saying 'Never draw to an inside straight.' In strip poker, when the potential loss is only one item of clothing whether you fold or call, an 8% chance to win the hand is better than the alternative.
History[edit]
While it has been suggested that strip poker originated in New Orleans in the United States around the same time as original poker in the 19th century, played in brothels,[2][3] the term is only attested since 1916.[4] Strip poker most likely began as a prank among boys, and as late as the 1930s, the current mixed-gender version was called 'mixed strip poker' in England to differentiate it from the all-male variety.[5]

In 1982, an American computer game company, Artworx, produced a Strip Poker game for the Apple II computer. It has been ported to many other computers since then, and is still available today. Many others followed.[6] Strip poker is featured as an Easter Egg in the Windows 8 card suite Card Hero.[7]
Strip variants of other games[edit]
As with all forms of poker, strip poker also has variations. Recently, strip poker has been available online. One can visit one of these sites, choose a male or female opponent, and play strip poker. In this game strip Poker online or a strip poker web cam game is conducted using virtual chips. The first player pays only for the time spent in the private poker room. Usually this game is played between two players, the girl from the site and the strip poker site visitor. Both players can communicate with each other through web cams. Game rules can be varied; usually the players discuss them before the game begins.
'Video Strip Games' is becoming a popular addition to online game websites with the introduction of higher speed internet connections. This includes video: strip poker, blackjack, pool, darts, hangman, etc. The list goes on. This was not really a viable solution to stream the games in the past because of high bandwidth costs and slow performance. Even mobile devices can play video strip games with almost no issues.
Many other games besides poker have 'strip' variants. In particular, many 'strip mahjong' video games have been published, especially by Japanese software companies. In 2013, the concept of Strip Sports Betting was launched in the United States by creating live internet broadcasts using models and pornstars who bet on football games and take their clothes off as they lose.[8][9]
