Playing poker always makes for a great time, especially if you're winning the pot. But if you're out for a twist with adult friends who are, well, close friends, play a game of poker where clothes become the currency: strip poker.
Whether it's winter or summer, pile on the garments—the more you have, the more it's like starting a regular poker game with hundreds of chips. You'll have a lot to lose before things get a little bit more interesting.

And don't worry, at least with these rules, no one has to actually end up naked.
The Cast of Characters
Before you think about adding strip poker to your evening's entertainment, make sure you're with other like-minded adults. This game is for couples, potential paramours, or a group or party of like-minded friends who won't freak out when the clothes come off. No one should should feel pressured into playing this game: having an unwilling player won't be any fun for that person or for the other players either.
In fact, you might want to put the idea on the table before everyone even comes over. This gives everyone an easy out if they're uncomfortable with it. That approach is better than waiting until everyone has gathered and then springing it on them when a spotlight will focus on anyone who seems to be reluctant or unsure. Other partygoers might lean on them a little, which is uncomfortable also.
If you don't pay attention to this detail, you might be very sorry in the morning; sensitivity matters. In addition, have a plan to let a player completely bow out should things get a little uncomfortable.
The Rules
Instead of playing for cash, you play for clothes in strip poker. Alternatively, you can start out playing for money, then players must offer up articles of clothing to stay in a hand when they run out of chips or cash. If they lose, the clothes get removed one piece at a time. This can be a great way to make a regular poker game last a bit longer.
Strip poker doesn't always closely follow actual poker rules, and you have some ability to make the game your own. Sometimes players all get a draw, then they show their cards. All the losers have to take off a previously specified item of clothing while the winner gets to keep everything on. You can play any variation of poker, although it's best to keep it to simple games with fewer betting rounds, such as five-card draw or one of the five-card draw variations. Basically, everyone is dealt five cards and they can then exchange one or more of them for an equal number of cards from the remaining deck.
Strip poker is also often played with one betting round, akin to Texas Hold'em, putting more pieces of clothing at risk if you want to stay in the hand. You can either see that bet, raise it, or fold. A player who wants to stay in must see or raise that bet, just as in regular poker. If you lose, you lose the garments you bet. If you win, you get to keep them on. It's that easy.
Regardless of how you play, if you think of pieces of clothing as money, then it all usually makes sense.
How Much Is Each Article of Clothing Worth?
Poker Hands
That's up to the players. But you might want to decide the value of each article of clothing before people start shedding their shirts. Is a single sock is worth one bet? Is a shirt worth two? How about underwear? Maybe five..or 10. Decide before you begin what the currency of clothing equals. Also determine if scarves, shoes, ties, and other small garments and accessories count and how much. You'll also want to determine if everyone starts out with roughly the same amount of clothing to make it fair, or if you allow some inequities based on what people are naturally wearing.
When Is It Over?
Wall Street Poker Rules
You'll know. If someone is down to his skivvies and hugging himself and declaring he's out, it's over. You might even decide to set a game-over point before you get started. Strip poker is meant to be a lighthearted game for friends and couples, so it's important to keep the mood fun, and possibly a little bit flirty. It's also a good idea to keep some robes nearby, just in case someone gets a little shy or chilly during the game. Regardless of how you play, the important part is to have fun and be respectful.

Poker Rules Cheat Sheet
Players are initially dealt three hole cards, two face down, one face up. Everyone pays an ante.

Rather than a betting round taking place, a bidding round occurs, where players choose whether to buy a community card. The card on the left of the dealer costs one betting unit, the next card two betting units, the next card three betting units and the card to the right of the dealer costs four betting units. The fee for the card then goes into the pot. If a player chooses to purchase one of the cards it is replaced from the top of the deck.
If they choose not to purchase a card, they are dealt one for free face up. This process repeats until every player has four face up cards. So for example if the minimum bid was $1, and a player is dealt a pair of Kings, if a King is the third community card to the left of the dealer, it would cost them $3 to take the King.

Players are then dealt a face down card and a final betting round takes place.
Variations[edit]
There are also wild card versions of this game where the most expensive card can be a wild card, meaning that it has any value the player wants it to be. For example, if a Queen is needed to make a straight, it would cost four betting units but a player could purchase the wild card to count as the Queen. Another version of the game plays in the following way:
- All players pay the antes.
- Four cards are dealt face up on the table.
- The furthest left card (from the dealer perspective) is marked with a chip.
- All players are dealt two cards.
- Every player now has the option to decide: (a) to get a third card from the dealer which is dealt face up; (b) to buy one of the four cards that were dealt previously, with the card to the left of the dealer costing one betting unit, the next card two betting units, the next card three betting units and the card to the right of the dealer costing four betting units.
- The first betting round takes place. When played with antes, each pot is opened by the player who shows the weakest hand. They have to pay the bring-in and can also raise.
- Again every player can decide to get a card from the dealer or to buy a card from the Wall Street.
- Second betting round.
- There are three more betting rounds. Before each round each player draws an additional card. Cards five and six are dealt face up, card seven is dealt face down.
