But do you know the origins of strip poker? Are you aware that strip poker is surprisingly pervasive in pop culture? Do you know that a joke has even led to the running of real strip poker tournaments where hundreds of naked connoisseurs gather? Strip poker is one of the many variations of poker, the best-known card game in the world. And just like poker, it's a little hard to determine exactly when and where it was born.
According to Wikipedia, strip poker was born in New Orleans at the same time as poker itself around the s. But it's obvious that poker as we know it is the end result of a long evolution and there's no consensus as to its origins.
Some think the ancestor of poker came from 10th century China; others say 17th century Persia or even 18th century Europe. What we know for sure is that most classic poker games in America developed aboard the steamboats of the Mississippi River before conquering the Far-West saloons. In this version saloon players who had no more chips could keep playing with the risk of ending up naked.
It's worth noting that strip poker was not played in private, despite popular beliefs. Seeing a player naked at the end of a game was just as common as tar and feathers to punish cheaters. Nowadays, there's no more tar and feathers and strip poker has become a party game played during a social gathering to lighten the mood, enable interactions and get to know people more intimately.
If you want to have a designated strip poker playing set, there are pre-made board game versions of strip poker. And yes, that means only your virtual opponents will get naked unless, of course, you join in. Various game editors on Apple II, Amiga, Atari, Commodore and even Nintendo NES created official or unofficial licenses as early as the 80s : these are the very first erotic video games. Follow the first rule to apply. The next table shows the return of the Play bet under optimal player strategy.
A win of 0 also includes folding, in which case a raise bet was never made. The next table summarizes the Ante, Play, and Super Bonus bets. The sum shows the player can expect to lose 3. The next table shows the net overall win between the Ante, Play, and Super Bonus under optimal player strategy. The bottom right cell of the table above shows a house edge of 3. This is the ratio of the expected player loss to the Ante bet.
One might argue that since the Super Bonus bet is required I define the house edge as the expected loss to the sum of the required starting bets. However, in the interests of consistency with how the term is defined in other games, I choose to base the house edge on the Ante only.
Overall the player has a Thus, the element of risk of the game ratio of expected loss to average total bet is 3. As far as I know, there are four pay tables available for the Queens Up, according to the choice of casino management.
Most Las Vegas casinos use pay table 4. Some casinos add on a side bet known as the 6-Card Bonus. This side bet is found on multiple poker-derivative games, so I created a special page for it. Do this again for the fifth and final community card the river. Now there are five communal cards in the middle of the table. Players can use these with their own cards to make their best 5-card poker hand.
But the game is more exciting if players turn them over on the flop after the exchange. The suspense keeps everyone involved in the drama. Thus, making makes suck-outs way more exciting. The final stage is to see who wins or loses!
The player with the worst hand loses a chip and must lose the appropriate item of clothing. Chips represent lives in this game. So, the used chips get put to one side until the next game.
The whole process repeats itself until one player is out of lives, chips, clothing, dignity… etc — you get the point. If you care about the game being fair, make sure everyone has the same starting stack. So, the best way to make things fair is to assign a chip value to each item of clothing.
This method ensures that everyone has the same number of total chips. If someone is wearing fewer clothes, you can assign different chip values to each item. Dress - 3 chips Socks - 1 chip Shoes - 1 chip. Shirt - 1 chip Shoes - 1 chip Jeans - 1 chip Jacket - 1 chip Cap - 1 chip. You can play with anyone. But strip poker isn't going to be replacing charades as a weekend family activity any time soon. So, it's probably not the greatest idea to throw Grandma a cheeky wink the next time you're ruffling a deck of cards.
With that said, it is essential to play with people you feel comfortable around. A group of close friends or your partner make great candidates. But, if playing with a group of strangers at a party works for you, then go right ahead. You can play with payers. Strictly speaking, you can deal until you run out of cards. So, the maximum size of your game will depend on what poker variant you're playing.
But you should go with a two-player minimum, though. You can even play on your own. But if you do find yourself going solo, a trip to the psychiatrist might be in order Oh, and remember, heads-up strip poker is likely to be more intimate and flirtatious.
A group game at a party will far more likely centre on the hilarity of playfully embarrassing each other. With the rules ironed out, you're free to get started. Here's a variation you can use with friends where you can allocate rooms or forfeits too. If you'd like a slower more skillful variant, you could always allocate a number of chips to each player. You would enforce ' stripping ' whenever a player loses all their chips, or another reaches a particular number. But there are loads of creative ways to get around that.
Seriously… get back to the asylum! You can use existing poker software to facilitate the game. Inexperienced players think they have a better chance of winning when they have four cards and forget they have to use two cards from their hand.
Most poker players start by playing Texas holdem. The players who decide to give Omaha a try usually play too many hands. While you do have a better chance of completing a decent hand when you start with four cards, the truth is that every player starts with four cards.
When every player starts with four cards, you have to have a better hand on average when you play Omaha than you need when you play Texas holdem if you want to win. The rule requiring the use of two hole cards and three community cards to complete a hand seems simple. But Texas holdem players are used to using one of their hole cards and four of the community cards, or even all five community cards to complete a hand.
Pot limit is similar to no-limit poker, but pot limit gives smart poker players a better opportunity to control the pot size. They also know how to maximize the pot while keeping weaker players in the hand when winning. All of the things covered in this section combined make pot-limit Omaha high a profitable game for smart players. Of course, you still have to play better than most of your opponents if you want to win, just like when you play any other poker variation.
But this all boils down to learning and using strategy. Pot limit play can make mistakes costly, just like no-limit play. You can use several different strategies and tools to limit your mistakes.
