Strip Poker Rules

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 organized.

1. 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.
2. Dave Sawyer has posted detailed instructions for a highly playable version of Strip Poker based on draw poker, and using an original two-chip mechanism to allow players to fold, but not too often.
3. Poker with betting. The levels of bet are various combinations of truth, dares and removal of clothing.
4. 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, but it is the basis of some of the Strip Poker software that has begun to appear.
5. 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. 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.

  Strip Poker World Record ~Sunday, August 20, 2006
  A new Strip Poker World Record Set in London.

  London's Cafe Royal was the scene for a World's first today as 200 poker players set a new official Guinness world record for the biggest Strip Poker tournament ever.

  The Paddy Power World Strip Poker Championships kicked off at 1pm as 195 hopefuls set out to keep their clothes on and carve themselves a place in history.

  Each player was given 5 items of clothing which they used to buy chips - as they lost their chips they cashed in their clothes for more. Some opted to strip from the bottom up and sat playing naked except for a cap!

  The first person to lose their clothes and make the walk of shame was Andrew Mellusco from Twickenham, London).

  Andrew said: "I had two threes but I was unlucky that the girl who beat me on the last hand had a top pair!"

  The overall winner will walk away with £10,000, a specially commissioned Golden Fig Leaf trophy and entry to the Paddy Power Irish Open where up to €2 million will be up for grabs.

  However, the winner will be left with a moral dilemma. If they decide to donate their winnings to charity, Paddy Power will double the prize to £20,000.
