Pure Strip Poker
Chapter 1 The Rules
I was a PK (preacher’s kid). If you are not a PK, you may have never 
 though about what that means. As a PK in a small town, everybody 
 knows your father. If you do anything, somebody will tell your father 
 about it. This makes for a very restricted social life. You don’t get 
 invited to very many parties, and girls are reluctant to go out with you. 
 When I was 10 or 12 years old things were pretty normal. Most of the 
 kids in the neighborhood treated me as part of the gang. Though we 
 were too young for girls, there were a few copies of Playboy around 
 and there even were some mixed sex strip poker games. But in 
 following years I got progressively left out of those kinds of actives. I 
 heard whispered mentions of parties and bolder strip poker games at 
 school, but no one would dare invite me to one of these.
When I went to college, suddenly everything changed. No one knew I 
 was a PK. No one knew my father. I could do things for the first time 
 without worrying about word of it getting back to my father. The only 
 problem was I had no experience with girls. I had never been out on a 
 real date in high school, and now I finally had the opportunity, I didn’t 
 know what to do. My freshman year I was pretty shy. I met a lot of 
 girls in class and at dorm parties, but I was really unsure how to ask 
 them out, much less get them into bed. 
I was a virgin, with no prospect for a cure in sight.
I lived in the dorm my freshman year, and my roommate, Marc, had 
 no problems with girls. By the second month of the school year he had 
 a regular girl friend, Charlene, and I frequently had to stay out of the 
 dorm room until after midnight, so Marc and Charlene could use it. 
 One Friday night Charlene came over with Mary, a girl I had not met 
 before. They were going out to a club, and asked me if I wanted to 
 come along. Some band I had never heard of was playing at the club, 
 and since I had nothing better to do, I agreed to come along. 
Mary was an average looking girl, typical of most girls at the 
 University. She actually had a very pretty smile and a good figure, 
 but she dressed and fixed her hair in a plain looking way that meant 
 you could walk past her on the street without noticing her. This was 
 not a party school. You had to be in the top 12% of your high school 
 graduating class to get into the university, so most of the students 
 there had hit the books pretty hard in high school. There were very 
 few girls that would turn heads on the street, but that was mostly 
 because, either by choice or out of ignorance, they simply didn’t put 
 the time into perfecting a killer appearance. Quite frankly the guys, 
 myself included, were a pretty nerdy looking lot too. As I was soon to 
 find out, however, many of these plain-Jane looking girls, were pretty 
 fine looking without their clothes.
The four of us spent the evening dancing and listening to the band at 
 the club. Between sets there was a little time to talk, and I found out 
 that Mary was from a small town on the other side of the state, and 
 she was planning to study aerospace engineering. Like most of us, she 
 was very unsure what she really wanted to do. Her childhood 
 ambition had always been to be a schoolteacher, probably an 
 elementary school teacher, but she had slowly realized that 
 schoolteachers did not make much money. She had always liked math 
 and science, and by her senior year in high school, she had decided to 
 apply to engineering school, but now a few months into the school 
 year she already had doubts about her choice. There were very few 
 other women in the engineering school. She felt out of place, and had 
 a hard time relating to the typical engineering students, but she really 
 did not know what else to do. She was thinking of changing to the 
 Literature, Science, and Arts (LSA) school and majoring in Physics or 
 Math, but was unsure what kind of job you could get with one of 
 those majors. 
Around 11 PM, Marc whispered to me that he and Charlene were 
 heading back to our dorm room, and suggested 12:30 or 1 AM might 
 be a good time for me to get back. Mary said she would like to stay 
 and hear the next set by the band, so I said I would stay and see her 
 back to her dorm latter. Shortly after midnight, Mary and I left the 
 club, walking back towards her dorm. On a corner we passed an all 
 night convenience store, which had a magazine rack inside that 
 prominently displayed copies of Playboy and Penthouse. 
“Do you subscribe to Playboy?” Mary asked. “Almost all the guys I 
 know in the Engineering school do”.
“I don’t subscribe to Playboy, but I have bought copies at the 
 newsstand,” I confessed. “All guys do, unless they’re gay, or 
 something”.
“Have you ever wondered why guys find naked women so interesting, 
 while women are really not that interested in looking at naked men? 
 Oh, girls are curious what guys look like, but a naked guy is just not 
 the turn on that naked women are for men”.
“I guess I have never really thought much about that,” I replied.
“Look at the strip clubs,” Mary continued. “They all show naked 
 women. There are no male strip clubs anywhere in this state. Oh, I 
 guess they have them out in LA or someplace like that, but even there, 
 I bet there are 100 strip clubs showing naked women for every one 
 club showing naked men.”
I wasn’t sure what to think of this conversation. My heart was beating 
 faster, but I had never discussed anything like this with a girl before. 
 Did it mean that Mary liked me, and this was her way of arousing my 
 interest? If so, it was working. Was she trying to get me back to her 
 room? Did she have a roommate? Or was Mary so inexperienced with 
 boys that she did not realize what signals she was sending out with 
 this line of conversation?
“Well, I have never been to a strip club,” I replied. “I think you have 
 to be 21 to get in.”
“But I bet you have seen naked girls in the flesh? You played strip 
 poker or something like that in High School, right?”
“Well…errr, yeah,” I lied. My head was spinning. I hadn’t played strip 
 poker since I was in 6th grade, and none of the girls in those games had 
 reached puberty yet, but how had this subject come up. One minute I 
 was walking this girl I had just met back to her dorm room after a 
 pleasant non-date evening at a club, talking about school and career 
 prospects, and suddenly we are talking about strip clubs and now strip 
 poker. 
Was Mary suggesting we go back to her dorm room and play strip 
 poker? I was beginning to get a bulge in my pants and I was worried 
 Mary might notice it. While the thought of playing strip poker with 
 Mary back in her dorm room was intoxicating, little alarm bells were 
 going off, warning me I was getting in over my head. This all seemed 
 to be going way too fast. Maybe I should find a graceful way out of 
 this.
“Did you play strip poker in high school?” I asked, after a short pause, 
 then hated myself for not changing the subject of conversation.
“No. Not with boys anyway,” Mary answered. “I did play strip poker 
 at Girl Scout Camp once. We all got in a big tent and played. You 
 could quit anytime you wanted and leave the tent. Even though there 
 were no boys around, most of the girls chickened out before they got 
 naked. I was one of only 3 girls who stayed in the game until they got 
 naked.”
“I guess I don’t understand,” I answered, my mind racing out of 
 control. “At Boy Scout Camp we never played strip poker. It didn’t 
 make sense to play strip poker without girls. The guys all saw each 
 other naked every day in the shower. What would be the thrill in 
 playing strip poker with a bunch of guys you saw naked every day?”
“Well, the girls showers at Girl Scout Camp where not like that,” 
 Mary continued. “Girls usually don’t get naked even with other girls, 
 but we weren’t lesbians. I suppose we mostly were practicing to play 
 with boys, but my girlfriends and I were always afraid to play with 
 boys. There is nothing wrong with strip poker. I think it’s interesting 
 to see naked guys, and, while it would be embarrassing to end up 
 naked in front of guys, it also would be exciting. The problem with 
 strip poker is what happens after someone gets naked. The guys get 
 sexually turned on, and thinks get out of control. I would have played 
 strip poker with boys in high school, if I thought that after some 
 people were naked, we would all put our clothes back on and go 
 home. What happened in your strip poker games after people got 
 naked?”
Now she called my bluff. In the pre-adolescent strip poker games I 
 played in, we did not really know what to do after we got naked. 
 Usually, we did just put our clothes back on and go on to some other 
 game. One time we made a girl take a pee before we would give her 
 back her clothes, but this was out of anatomical curiosity because we 
 really wanted to know how a girl took a pee, since she didn’t have a 
 penis, and not a sexual thing. I wasn’t going to tell Mary about that, or 
 she would think I was a sexual pervert, but what could I say. 
“Well, actually, most of the time, the girls chickened out and quit 
 before they got naked,” I finally said. I hoped that sounded believable.
“Probably for the same reason I never played with boys in high 
 school. Do you think it is possible for guys to play strip poker with 
 girls and after somebody gets stripped, have everyone just put there 
 clothes back on and leave?”
“Well, I suppose. If everyone clearly understood that was what was 
 going to happen before the game started,” I said. Then I added, 
 “Why? Are you trying to organize a strip poker game?” I 
 immediately felt stupid for asking this. What was I thinking?
“Well…not exactly,” Mary replied. “But I know some girls who are 
 trying to organize one, and I was thinking of playing in it.”
Now things were clearer. Mary wasn’t inviting me back to her dorm 
 room for a hot game of strip poker. She was feeling me out for this 
 game that these other girls were trying to organize.
“Only couples will be allowed to play in this game,” Mary continued, 
 “so I need to find a guy I trust to behave himself at the game and not 
 rape me afterwards, if I want to play.”
This is why Mary had lead the conversation to strip poker. She was 
 looking for a safe partner for this upcoming game, and she was asking 
 me, I guess. “So you are asking me to be your partner for this game?” 
“Uh…yeah, something like that,” Mary flushed a little embarrassed by 
 my direct statement of her forwardness.
At this point the two of us were a few steps from the front lobby of 
 her dorm, and Mary stopped and faced me, obviously afraid to invite 
 me into her dorm. I was trying to think what I should say. I found the 
 idea of playing strip poker with Mary and some number of other girls 
 very exciting, even if at the end we just all put our clothes back on and 
 went our separate ways, but danger signals seem to be blinking all 
 over the place. Was this some kind of a trap? Would the girls rig the 
 poker game somehow so that only guys got stripped? Would there be 
 a secret camera some place to record my embarrassment for latter 
 blackmail purposes? All these thoughts flew through my head, as I 
 stood outside Mary’s dorm looking into her face, and trying not to 
 stare down at the bulges pushing out the front of her T-shirt.
“I might be interested,” I finally said. “How exactly were these girls 
 planning to play this game? What rules were they going to use?”
“Sharon and Kristen have thought a lot about that. They have been 
 trying to come up with a set of rules that make strip poker more 
 interesting than just taking turns removing items of your clothes. They 
 have written up a set of rules for the first game. I can get it for you to 
 look at and make up your mind. I’ll give you my phone number, and 
 you can call me tomorrow after the game, and we can meet someplace 
 where I can show you the written rules.”
Mary opened her purse, got out a card from some restaurant, and 
 wrote her name and number on the back of it and handed it to me. 
“One last thing,” Mary said. “Don’t tell anyone about this game. 
 Sharon and Kristen don’t want a lot of strange people showing up. 
 Only the people actually playing in the game are suppose to know 
 about it. Promise?”
“Uh… yeah,” I replied, while staring down at the card she had just 
 handed me. Mary leaned forward and gave me a peck on the cheek, 
 then turned quickly and in four steps vanished into the dorm. 
I slowly turned and started back towards my dorm. What would Mary 
 look like without clothes? Who were Sharon and Kristen, the girls 
 who were trying to organize this game? Were they also female 
 engineering students? Actually writing down the rules to strip poker 
 seemed a very nerdy think that an engineer might do. 
As I neared my own dorm, a new, frightening thought occurred to me. 
 What about Marc and Charlene? Charlene obviously knew Mary. 
 Were Marc and Charlene going to be part of this game? It was one 
 thing to end up naked in front some strange girls you might never see 
 again, but in front of your roommates girlfriend. That was different. 
 Should I ask Marc about this tomorrow? Mary had said not to tell 
 anyone about the game, so I better not asked Marc. He would 
 probably just laugh at me anyway. Why would someone who was 
 sleeping with Charlene two or three times a week want to play in a 
 strip poker game anyway?
When I got back to the room, Marc was gone. Either he was walking 
 Charlene back to her dorm, or they had gone out somewhere late. I 
 took a shower, and got into bed, I lay there turning everything over in 
 my head. It just seemed too good to be true, which usually meant it 
 was not true.
I never heard Marc come back that night, but he was there, still 
 sleeping, when I woke up the next morning. I had slept past breakfast, 
 as I usually do on Saturday. I got dressed and grabbed a book to do a 
 little studying before lunch. Since Marc was still asleep, I headed for 
 the dorm lounge and found a vacant chair. At 11:30 I went back to the 
 room. Marc was up and getting dressed for lunch.
“You and Mary seemed to be hitting it off rather well last night. How 
 did things go after we left?” Marc asked.
“Ok,” I replied.
“Charlene says that Mary is still a virgin.”
“Well, if she was a virgin yesterday, then she still is today,” I glibly 
 answered.
“Well, did you at least get her number?” Marc implored.
“Yeah, I got her number,” I replied, not volunteering how I had got 
 her number and what I was suppose to call her about.
We had to hurry down to lunch quickly, because everyone would be 
 eating early so they could get to the football game by 1:30. After Marc 
 and I gobbled down lunch, we stopped by Charlene’s dorm to pick her 
 up and then headed for the football stadium. Marc and I had taken 
 turns to stand in line for tickets, not releasing that all freshmen got 
 lousy seats in the end zone. Our seats were together, and Charlene’s 
 was some place else, but nobody cared were your tickets really were 
 in the student end zone section, so we always sat together since Marc 
 and Charlene had began going out all the time.
After we got to our seats, Charlene asked how Mary and I had hit if 
 off. 
“Ok, I guess. I got her phone number,” I said.
“Well, that is a good start,” Charlene said. “Mary is a really nice girl. I 
 knew her in high school. She always had her head buried in books. 
 Her parents really put a lot of pressure on her to do well in school and 
 they would not let her go out with boys at all in high school. She 
 needs to find some nice boy and learn what life is all about.” It was 
 clear what Charlene thought life was all about, and she and Marc were 
 regularly practicing it in my dorm room.
During the game I searched the freshman student section looking for 
 Mary’s face, but I could not find it. That didn’t mean she wasn’t there. 
 The stadium was big, and there were 12,000 freshman at the school, 
 so it was easy to miss her.
After the game, I headed back to my dorm room. Marc and Charlene 
 had something else to do. When I got back to the room, I got out 
 Mary’s card and stared at her number. Should I really call her or just 
 forget it. I hesitated. Maybe she wasn’t back from the game yet. 
 Maybe she hated football, and did not even go the game. Maybe she 
 woke up in the morning and realized she had said foolish things last 
 night, and would refuse to talk to me. Now I was trying to talk myself 
 out of calling her. Go ahead, just get it over with. The worst that can 
 happen is she will tell you to get lost and so you’ll never need to see 
 her again.
I dialed the number. The phone rang once. Mary answered saying 
 “Hello.” 
This was it.
“Hi. This is Larry. We met last night.” Boy was that lame.
“Oh. Good,” Mary sounded happy I called, and my heart skipped a 
 beat. “I was afraid you would never call after the things I said last 
 night.” Did that mean she changed her mind about what she had said? 
 “Are you still interested in seeing the rules?”
“Yeah,” I said.
“Ok. I can only show you a copy of the rules. I cannot let you keep it. 
 Sharon and Kristen made me promise not to let you keep a copy of it, 
 because they do not want copies of it floating around. Part of keeping 
 the game a secret. You understand?”
“I think so?”
“Good. Where would you like to meet.”
I tried to think. Most of the coffee shops and other places in town 
 would be crowded now with the after game crowd, so it would be hard 
 to get enough privacy to feel comfortable. On the other hand the 
 campus would be completely deserted, and it would still be light for 
 another 2 hours at least.
“There are some benches in front of the Stiles building. Do you know 
 where those are?” I asked.
“Yes, I think I know the ones you mean,” Mary replied.
“Ok, let’s meet there. There shouldn’t be anyone around now,” I said.
“See you there in 15 minutes,” Mary said, sounding happy as she 
 hung up the phone.
Well, now you’ve done it, I thought. There was still time to back out. 
 There was always time to back out. It certainly would do no harm to 
 go and look at this Sharon and Kristen’s written rules for strip poker. I 
 could always back out of it later.
When I got to the Stiles building, Mary waved to me from the bench. 
 Her dorm was a little closer, and she had gotten there first. As I 
 predicted, the whole campus was dead. We were almost the only 
 people around.
Mary had type written sheets of paper with her. This surprised me 
 even more. Sharon and Kristen had actually typed up the rules for 
 strip poker.
I sat down on the bench next to Mary and she handed me two sheets 
 of paper. The document was titled Pure Strip Poker. The rules looked 
 very detailed. These girls had tried to think of everything. I started to 
 read the rules. The rules were:
1. This is strictly a game of strip poker. There is to be no touching, no 
 kissing and no type of sex acts, either real or simulated, as part of 
 the game. 
 2. The game ends when the first player loses all their clothes and all 
 their chips, or as specified in rule 14. If more than one player loses 
 all their clothes and chips or as specified in rule 14, in the same 
 hand, then they are all losers.
 3. The game is standard five-card draw poker. The minimum hand to 
 open the first round of betting is a pair of jacks. 
 4. If six or fewer players are in the game, one deck of cards will be 
 used. If 7 to 12 players are in the game, two decks will be used. If 
 13-18 players are in the game, then three decks will be used. 
 5. In all cases the maximum number of cards you can draw is 3. This 
 was so there will always be enough cards in the deck for everyone 
 to draw up to 3 cards.
 6. Each person is given 5 chips at the beginning of the game. 
 7. The ante for each hand is one chip.
 8. In the round of betting before the draw, the opening bet can only 
 be one chip, and no raises are allowed. You must have a pair of 
 jacks to open, but anyone may see the opening bet.
 9. The betting round after the draw begins with whoever opened in 
 the first round, and the raises must be between 1 and 5 chips.
 10. If you do not have any chips left, you must take off a piece of 
 clothes and sell it to the bank for 5 more chips. You must take off 
 the piece of clothes before you get your five chips. 
 11. If you win a hand, you may buy clothes back from the bank, but at 
 a price of 7 chips. You may only put the clothes back on, provided 
 you have on the piece of clothes that would be taken off after the 
 piece you bought back. In other words, the clothes must go back on 
 in the reverse order they came off.
 12. At the end of the hand, everyone must show their hand and the 
 person with the lowest hand must give one piece of clothing to the 
 person with the highest hand, regardless of who won the pot.
 13. The piece of clothing given by the loser to the winner must be one 
 of the winners pieces of clothes that the loser had previously won 
 or one of the loser’s own pieces of clothes. It can not be a piece of 
 clothes from any third party, and it can not be a piece of clothes 
 bought back from the bank at the end of the hand.
 14. If the loser does not have any clothes left and does not have any of 
 the winners clothes, the game ends and they are the loser.
 15. If no one opens the first betting round, then everyone must show 
 their hand and person with the lowest hand give the person with 
 the highest hand a piece of clothes as outline in rules 12-14. After 
 this everyone must ante one more chip into the pot and a new hand 
 is dealt.
 16. If you lose all your clothes, you are still in the game, as long as 
 you have chips left.
 17. You are required to wear 6 pieces of clothes. For guys these are 
 shoes, socks, shirt, pants, undershirt and underpants, in that order 
 For girls these are shoes, socks or panty hose, shirt or blouse, skirt 
 or pants, bra, and panties, in that order. Girls may also wear a dress 
 and a half-slip. 
 18. When you take off your underwear, you are required to stand up 
 while you take it off. You may sit down immediately after you get 
 it off.
 19. You are not allowed to cover anything up with your hands or arms. 
 You may position your legs to cover up areas below your waist. 
 20. When the game ends, the loser or losers (see rules 2 & 14) are 
 required to standup, totally nude, with their hands at their side and 
 let people examine them as closely as they liked for up to ten 
 minutes. The losers must also perform reasonable requests by the 
 other players. Reasonable requests include bending over, spreading 
 legs, sitting or laying down with legs spread, dancing etc. Note rule 
 1. Winners may never touch the loser or ask the loser to perform or 
 simulate sex acts.
 21. No players may put on any clothes they have lost during the game, 
 until the ten-minute penalty period is over.
 22. All players are required to stay in the game until the game is over. 
 If you quit before the game is over, you will not get any of the 
 clothes you have lost back, and you may never play in any future 
 games
These rules were very different than any strip poker game I had heard 
 of. How did these rules change the game? Well, obviously, only one 
 person was stripped completely naked in this game. This game was a 
 real poker game with betting. All the strip poker games I had been in 
 your just drew cards, and the low card had to take off a piece of 
 clothes. I had never heard of playing poker with more than one deck 
 of cards. How did this change the game? In fact I had hardly ever 
 played real poker. 
“How many people are you expecting to play in this game?” I asked 
 Mary.
“Well, there are seven or eight girls looking for partners, so it could 
 be as many as 16 maximum, but we are only expecting around 10 for 
 this first game,” Mary replied.
“What about Marc and Charlene? Will they be one of the players?” I 
 asked.
“No,” Mary replied. “I have never mentioned the game to Charlene. I 
 doubt that she would be interested.”
“Then Sharon and Kristen are not also from your high school?” I 
 asked.
“No. I had never met them before I came to school here. I met Sharon 
 and Kristen through Betty, who may play in the game, if she finds a 
 partner. Betty is the only other female freshman engineering student I 
 have met.”
“What about Sharon and Kristen? Are they engineering students too?” 
 I asked.
“Sharon is, but Kristen is in the nursing school. They have a big 
 apartment off campus,” Mary said. That also meant they were 
 probably not freshman, because freshman usually lived in the dorm.
“These rules look weird. Has anyone ever tried to play this game to 
 see if it really works?” I asked.
“Oh yes,” Mary immediately answered. “Eight of us girls played a 
 week ago, using exactly these rules. They worked very well, just the 
 way we wanted them to work. We did not want to play the game were 
 the lowest hand takes off a piece of clothes, since that takes all the 
 betting and skill out of the game, and makes it just a game of chance. 
 You might as well just be drawing cards, the way little kids play.”
This was the only way I had ever played.
“On the other hand,” Mary continued, “if you just do the betting part 
 with 5 chips per piece of clothes, then no one wants to bet. The best 
 strategy seems to be to fold every hand and lose your ante. You will 
 not win this way, but the person who bets and loses, will be the first 
 one out.”
Mary or Sharon or someone else had really thought this game through 
 like an engineer. 
“When you add the element of the lowest hand also losing one piece 
 of clothes each hand, this makes it important not to fold before the 
 draw. If you just fold every hand before the draw and lose you ante, 
 you lose one chip every hand, which means with 6 pieces of clothes, 
 you will last 30 hands. There a good chance someone else will go out 
 long before then, but you will also have the lowest hand much more 
 frequently than people who stay in though the draw. In a 6 handed 
 game, you should lose every 6 hands, but you might lose every 3 
 hands instead. This means you would actually be out after, oh … say 
 12 hands or so. From our games the best strategy seems to be to stay 
 in through the draw on every hand, then bet after the draw, if you are 
 reasonably certain you have the best hand. You probably only need to 
 win one hand to make sure you will not be the first person out of the 
 game.”
I got the impression Mary had a lot to do with these rules. How had 
 this group of girls gotten started on the idea of this game? Strip poker 
 was always a sort of spur of the moment game which nobody ever 
 really analyzed. There was no strategy to strip poker. It was just a way 
 to get everyone, or almost everyone, to take their clothes off. This 
 was a different game. Only one person was suppose to end up 
 completely naked, although several others could be close. The 
 “winners” would have most of their clothes. This was a lot more 
 challenging game than the regular old strip poker I had played. There 
 was an advantage to being the winner in this game. The childhood 
 games had frequently been played until everyone was stripped. This 
 game would be different.
“Well, what do you think of these rules?” Mary asked, after a brief 
 pause. “Are you interested in playing or do you want to think about it 
 a bit more?”
I was trying to think. If I lost, I would get stripped in front of five to 
 eight girls I didn’t know. The odds seem to be about 50% of seeing 
 Mary or one of the other girls, stripped naked, 10% of getting stripped 
 naked myself. The remaining 40% of the time some other guy in the 
 game would end up stripped. Those odds sounded good to me.
“Ok. I’ll be your partner in this game,” I heard myself say. “When and 
 were is the game?”
“Good,” Mary smiled. “The game will be next Friday night at Sharon 
 and Kristen’s apartment.”
Chapter 2 The First Game
I had a hard time studying and paying attention in class all next week. 
 I kept turning the rules Mary had shown me over and over in my head. 
 Mary and her friends had obviously played some practice games with 
 these rules. What was the best strategy for the game? I vaguely knew 
 the rules of poker, but I could not remember what all the exact rank of 
 poker hands was (is a straight or a flush higher?), much less all the 
 odds of different hands and draws. Mary sounded like she knew a lot 
 more about poker than I did, so I bought a book on Sunday, and spent 
 all my free time the next week studying up for the big game.
The book explained all the basic rules of poker, and it became clear 
 that the girls had gotten most of their rules from standard poker rules, 
 with a few changes. The book explained the basic principal of draw 
 poker. It explained how you have to play tight, and not bet too much 
 when you did not think you had a winner. It discussed how to “read” 
 other players hands from how many cards they draw and how they 
 bet, rather than by peeking or using marked cards. The book said 
 reading other players hands this way, which is not cheating, was a 
 very important part of playing poker well. For example, if a player 
 draws only one card, then he might have two pair, or be drawing to a 
 straight or a flush. You have to figure out which from the way the 
 player bet before the draw, how he reacts to the draw, and how he bets 
 after the draw. 
But how did the rules of this strip poker game change the strategy. 
 The book said you should fold before the draw, if you did not have 
 anything, but Mary said you should never do that in this game because 
 you wanted to draw to reduce the chances of having the lowest hand. 
 The book also recommended trying to draw to a flush or straight 
 under many conditions. Your chances of getting one were not very 
 high, but when you got it, you usually had the winner. In the strip 
 poker game, though, this did not seem like a good idea. Most of the 
 time you would not make the straight or flush and then you ran a good 
 chance of having the lowest hand. Better to discard more cards and try 
 to get a pair or at least some higher cards.
 I got out two decks of cards and practiced dealing hands, and playing 
 all the hands, just to get the feel of what real poker hands were like. I 
 spent at least one hour each day sitting on my bed dealing out a ten-
 handed poker game. This helped me understand better what really was 
 a good hand and what was not.
When Friday finally arrived, I thought I was ready. After eating 
 dinner at the dorm, I went back to my dorm room to change clothes. I 
 decided to put on clean underwear, just in case. Just then Marc walked 
 in. “What’re you doing Larry? Got a hot date tonight?” he said.
“No, not really. Mary and I are going to a get together at some friend 
 of hers,” I said, which was true, as far as it went.
“Good luck bud. Maybe you can score tonight,” Marc replied.
“Well, I’ll probably need the luck,” I said, but not in the way that 
 Marc meant.
I headed to Mary’s dorm to pick her up. When I got to her dorm I 
 scanned the lobby, but I couldn’t find Mary, so I went over to use the 
 phone in lobby to call her. There were two lobby phones, but both 
 were in use. I could just go up and knock on her door, but I didn’t 
 know her room number, so I waited for the phone. Finally one the 
 guys finished and I dialed Mary’s room. The phone rang several 
 times, but no answer.
“Hi Larry. Ready for the big game,” Mary said from behind me.
I hung up the phone, and turned to face Mary. Mary was wearing a 
 tight fitting white blouse and a full blue skirt with a white flower 
 pattern. Mary looked much more feminine than in the standard issue, 
 loose fitting T-shirt and blue jeans that she had worn at our previous 
 meetings. 
“As ready as I will ever be,” I replied, and then we walked out of the 
 dorm and I followed Mary away from the campus to the south into the 
 student ghetto, where most of the houses had been converted to 
 rentals. Mary didn’t say much, unlike our previous meeting. I felt 
 pressure to break the silence, but I could not think what to say. Small 
 talk with girls was not my strong point.
Finally Mary stopped in front of one of the old houses. It looked like 
 it had probably been built in the 1920s like most of the houses in this 
 area. 
“Sharon and Kristen live on the second floor,” Mary said.
We walked through the front door. This house had been cut up into 
 apartments. Walls and doors had been added. Exposed plumbing and 
 electrical conduits ran up the walls disfiguring an elegant old house. 
 Mary started up the stairs, and I followed behind her. At the top of the 
 stairs there were two doors, and Mary knocked on the first one, 
 nearest the front of the house. After a minute the door opened and a 
 girl with reddish brown hair and wearing a basic black dress held the 
 door open for us to enter. 
“Hi Sharon, this is Larry,” Mary said, and I reached out my hand to 
 Sharon.
“And this is Kristen,” Mary said, turning to a girl just walking into the 
 room from what must be the bedroom. Kristen had long dirty blond 
 hair, and she wore a slender green dress. I reached out and shook 
 hands with Kristen also.
“You are the first ones here,” said Kristen. “Would you like 
 something to drink? We have pop and juice in the refrigerator.”
“I’ll take a coke,” I said, and Kristen walked over to the refrigerator, 
 and got me a coke.
I looked around the room. The room had probably been the master 
 bedroom of the house. Now it was the living room, dinning room and 
 kitchen for this apartment. There was a small kitchenette built in one 
 corner next to a door that looked like it led to a bathroom. There was a 
 square of linoleum on the floor in the kitchenette, but the rest of the 
 room had light green wall to wall carpeting. In the diagonally opposite 
 corner of the room was a couch, and some tables, chairs and lamps, 
 which had been pushed against the wall to clear out a large area on the 
 floor. This, I guessed, is where the game would be played.
“How many people are you expecting for the game,” I asked.
“Well, Bob and George should be here shortly, and Betty is coming 
 with somebody, so I guess that makes eight,” said Sharon.
“Cathy really wanted to play, but she couldn’t find anyone she trusted 
 to play,” said Mary.
“Trusted to play?” I asked. “Every guy on this campus would 
 probably like to play strip poker with you girls. Why wouldn’t you 
 trust them to play?”
“I mean trust them to follow the rules we outlined, especially the rules 
 about not touching people who have lost their clothes and no sex. We 
 want to play strip poker, not get raped,” replied Mary.
“Oh,” I said. “I can see where that might be a problem.” In fact, how 
 many guys could keep themselves under control with completely 
 naked girls standing in front of them? Could I?
At that moment I heard steps on the stairway, and a moment later a 
 knock at the door. Sharon went to answer the door, and two young 
 guys came into the room. “This is Bob and George,” said Sharon. Bob 
 was tall, probably 6ft 3in, and thin. George was probably closer to six 
 feet, and more average build. Both were wearing tee shirts and blue 
 jeans. 
“This is Mary and Larry,” continued Sharon. I shook hands with both 
 of them. 
Sharon went to get them something to drink, when there was another 
 knock on the door. Kristen went to answer it this time, and a tall girl 
 with curly brown hair came into the apartment, followed by a short 
 guy. They made a very improbable looking couple, but they probably 
 were not a couple at all, just like Mary and myself.
“This is Betty,” Kristen announced.
“And this is Jim,” Betty said.
I reached out my hand to Betty, and said, “Hi, I’m Larry.” Everyone 
 else introduced themselves. Betty was wearing a tight red sweater, 
 which highlighted her larger than average breasts, and black, slightly 
 lose fitting pants. She had dark brown hair and brown eyes. Jim was 
 short, but otherwise well built. He was wearing a sweatshirt and blue 
 jeans.
“Anybody who wants something to drink, come and get it,” yelled 
 Sharon from the kitchenette. A few of the new arrivals went over to 
 get something.
Sharon came over from the kitchenette and she had a copy of the rules 
 Mary had let me see. “Ok. Here are the rules for strip poker that we 
 are going to use tonight,” Sharon said. “I would like everyone to read 
 these, and make sure you understand them completely. We will not 
 allow any changes to the rules during the game, and everyone 
 understands the rules against quitting before the game is over?” 
 Sharon handed the rules to Jim. “We will start the game in about ten 
 minutes.”
The rules were passed to me. I looked them over again, and passed 
 them to someone else. Slowly the group assembled on the carpet in a 
 big circle. When we were all seated, Sharon began to shuffle and deal 
 out the first hand. She had to divide the deck into two separate stacks 
 for shuffling, because the double deck stack was too big to shuffle at 
 one time. 
“Everyone ante,” Kristen said, and we all tossed a chip in the middle 
 as Sharon dealt out our five cards. My heart was beating fast as I 
 picked up the cards and peeked at them. I had an ace, king, ten, eight, 
 and five. Some big cards, but nothing. I looked around. Everyone else 
 was looking up from studying their cards. Since Sharon had dealt, 
 George was the first to act. George checked, and so did Kristen. Jim 
 opened by tossing in one chip and Betty saw the bet. It was my turn to 
 act. I had an Ace high, which was poor, but might be good enough to 
 keep me away from the lowest hand if I just folded. Mary advice 
 though had been not to fold, so I saw the bet too. Everyone else saw 
 the bet too. 
I kept the Ace and King and took three cards. Bob, George, and Betty 
 took 2 cards. Everyone else took 3. I peeked at the three new cards, a 
 pair of sevens and a three. At least I had one pair now. No way I could 
 win with this, but it should not be the lowest hand. Since Jim had 
 opened the first round, he was the first to act in this round. Jim 
 checked. Betty checked, and so did I. Mary opened the betting for one 
 chip. Bob, Sharon, and George folded. Kristen stared a Mary with her 
 blue eyes, then saw her bet. Jim let his eyes go back and forth between 
 Mary and Kristen, then folded. Betty and I folded too.
“Two pair, Queens and Jacks,” said Mary.
Kristen tossed her cards down face up. “Just a pair of Aces,” she said.
Mary reached out and grabbed in the stack of chips in the center.
“Now everyone show your cards,” said Kristen.
I laid down my pair of sevens. Most of the others had a pair of 
 something. I noted that Jim, who had reluctantly folded his hand, had 
 a pair of Kings. It turned out Sharon was the loser with a Queen high. 
 She pulled her shoes off and tossed them to Mary, who placed them 
 behind her.
Mary now sat next to me smiling with a big stack of chips in front of 
 her. I had only three remaining. George shuffled the cards and dealt 
 out another hand. I picked up my cards and peeked at a pair of threes, 
 a king, jack and a five. Not likely to win unless I get a third three or 
 another pair, but probably not the lowest hand either. Kristen was the 
 first to act, and she checked and so did Jim. Betty opened for one chip 
 and everyone else quickly saw the bet. Apparently everyone was 
 following Mary advice to never fold until after the draw. 
Betty, sitting on my right, took just one card, which probably meant 
 she had two pair. Kristen took 2 cards, which might mean she had 3 of 
 a kind, but could just mean she had a pair and an ace kicker, or maybe 
 just 3 high cards. I took 3 cards. I looked at a pair of nines and an ace. 
 Now I had 2 pair, nines and threes. 
Betty to my right was the first to act. She reached down and took off 
 her shoes and tossed them to the side. “I’m opening for 5 chips,” she 
 said, as Sharon reached back to the bank box and tossed the 5 chips 
 into the center.
Now what should I do? Betty probably had 2 pairs before the draw. 
 Did she have a full house now? Or had she drawn to a straight or a 
 flush? She must have my two pair beat. So I folded.
Mary looked past me at Betty. “I’ll see your bet,” she said, as she 
 tossed 5 chips from her big pile.
Bob was next, and he did not look happy. He paused, and finally 
 reached down to untie his shoes. “I’ll see the bet,” he said. Sharon 
 reached back into the bank box and tossed another 5 chips into the 
 center.
Sharon and George both folded quickly without another look at their 
 cards. Kristen picked her cards up and looked at them again. She 
 started to reach for her shoes, then thought better of it. “I fold,” she 
 announced.
Jim then folded. Betty quickly spread out her cards. She had four 
 fours! Mary and Bob both threw their cards down with a groan. Mary 
 had three twos and Bob had three sixes.
Betty gathered in the chips in the center. Everyone else spread their 
 cards out to see who had the lowest hand. Kristen, who almost bet her 
 shoes, had two pair, aces and fives. It was Jim who had the lowest 
 hand with a pair of eight’s. Jim took off his shoes and handed them to 
 Betty.
As Kristen slowly shuffled the cards for the next hand, I could see 
 why Mary said not to fold before the draw. A pair of eight’s had 
 ended up the lowest hand. I reached down and tossed my one 
 remaining chip into the center for the ante. Except for Mary and Betty, 
 who had big stacks of chips, most others were down to their last chip. 
 Kristen did not have any chips left. After she dealt us all five cards, 
 she slipped off her shoes and placed them over by the bank pile. 
 Sharon handed her five more chips, and she put one in the ante.
I picked up my cards and looked at a pair of eight’s, an ace, nine and a 
 two. Given the last hands results, I had better improve this hand in the 
 draw. Jim and Betty both checked to me. I checked and so did Mary. 
 Bob reached down and removed his shocks, tossing them into the 
 bank pile. Sharon handed him five chips from the bank, and Bob 
 opened for one.
Sharon calmly stood up, reached up under her tight skirt and pulled 
 off her sheer socks, placing them by the bank pile. “I’ll see the bet,” 
 she said.
George removed his shoes to see the bet. Kristen had chips and just 
 saw the bet. Jim took off his socks to see the bet. Betty tossed in one 
 chip from her big stack. I untied my shoes and threw them into the 
 bank pile to get more chips so I could see the bet.
Mary, who still had lots of chips, just tossed one into the pile.
I decide to keep the ace kicker and just draw two. Bob, Sharon and 
 Jim each took one card, while everyone else took three cards. Did they 
 all have two pairs, or were they drawing to straight or flushes. Could 
 somebody have another four of a kind? I picked up my two cards, but 
 they were no help, a jack and a six. Well I would have to fold and 
 hope somebody had a lower hand.
Bob, as the initial opener, was the first to act. He opened for one chip.
Sharon looked at Bob, and pushed the four chips in front of her 
 towards the pile. “I see your bet and raise you three,” she said.
Sharon must have something. George folded. Kristen looked at 
 Sharon, looked at her cards again, then laid them down and folded. 
 Jim folded. Now it was Betty’s turn. She immediately started counting 
 chips out of her pile. “I’ll see the four to me, and raise you five,” she 
 said.
I folded without looking at my pair of eight’s again. Mary folded also. 
 Bob looked at Betty and Sharon, then folded too. 
Sharon stared across the circle at Betty. Sharon had drawn only one, 
 while Betty had drawn three cards. What did they have? Sharon stood 
 up, unzipped her dress, and let it drop to the floor, revealing a black 
 lacy bra and a half-slip. She stepped out of the dress, picked it up and 
 placed it in the bank pile. She turned and took five chips from the 
 bank and pushed them into the bet pile. “I’ll see your bet. What do 
 you have Betty?” she said.
Betty smiled and laid down a full house, three’s and eight’s. Sharon 
 moaned and dropped her cards. A jack high straight. “How can you be 
 that lucky, Betty? Four of a kind last hand and a full house this hand. 
 It’s not fair,” Sharon protested, and crossed her arms just below her 
 black bra. 
Betty smiled, reaching out to gather in the chips. “Just beginners luck, 
 I guess,” she said. Sharon sat on the floor glaring at Betty. Not only 
 had she just lost her dress, she did not have any chips left, so she was 
 going to have to remove her half-slip to get chips to ante in the next 
 hand. That was going to leave her in just her bra and panties.
While I was staring at Sharon’s bra, Kristen turned to me. “Larry, I 
 think you have the low hand.”
I looked around at all the other hands. Jim and George both had pairs 
 of jacks. Everyone else had two pair or something better. I reached 
 down and pulled off my socks and handed them to Betty.
Jim gathered up the cards and began shuffling them. Sharon stood up, 
 forced a smile. “Well, here goes,” she said. As she pulled her half-slip 
 off and tossed it in the bank pile, revealing a pair of black lacy 
 panties, that were sold in the center, but semi-transparent at the sides. 
 Sharon quickly grabbed five chips from the bank and sat back down, 
 making it much more difficult to see her panties. Everyone anted in 
 one chip. Betty had a huge pile of chips in front of her. Mary still had 
 a sizable stack. Everyone else had three or four chips.
Jim dealt out the cards, and I picked up and peeked at my hand. It was 
 a king, ten, nine, six and four, or nothing. I really needed to improve 
 this hand in the draw, or I was in big trouble.
Jim had dealt, so Betty had to act first. She passed, I passed, and so 
 did Mary, Bob, Sharon and George. I thought maybe no one would 
 have an opening hand, but Kristen opened and everyone quickly saw 
 the bet. I took three cards, and so did everyone except Betty, who took 
 two. Did Betty have three of kind this time, or was she just keeping an 
 ace kicker. Betty had enough chips in front of her that she could try to 
 bluff, although since you had to show your hand, everyone would 
 know what she had done.
I picked up my three cards and looked at them, a king, a ten and an 
 ace. I now had two pairs, kings and tens, plus an ace. This was a very 
 good hand, it could be a winner, but in the last two hands it would not 
 even have been the second best hand, so I had to be very careful. 
 Since Kristen had opened the betting, she was the first to act, and she 
 passed. Then Jim and Betty quickly passed. So this time Betty did not 
 have three of a kind. I looked at the two chips still in front of me, and 
 decided to go for it. I picked one chip and tossed it in the center. “I bet 
 one,” I said.
Bob looked at me, stood up and took off his shirt, tossing it in the 
 bank pile. “I’ll see your bet of one and raise you five,” he said. He 
 picked up the single chip in front of him, and shoved it towards the 
 pot. Sharon counted out 5 chips from the bank and added it to the pot. 
Sharon then folded. George looked at me, then looked at Bob. George 
 took off his socks and tossed them on the bank pile. “I’ll see the bet,” 
 he said, tossing one chip from the two in front of him into the pot. 
 Sharon counted out five more chips from the bank and added them to 
 the pot.
Kristen, Jim and Betty quickly folded. That left it up to me. I figured I 
 was beat, and folded.
“Ok, what have you got?” asked George.
“A king high straight,” replied Bob, as he spread his cards.
“What!” George protested. “You drew three cards, and you got a 
 straight. How can you beat that luck?” George spread out three 
 eight’s.
Everyone else spread their cards out to figure who had the lowest 
 hand. It was Jim, who had only a K high hand. Jim took off his 
 sweatshirt and handed it to Bob.
It was now Betty’s deal, and she began to shuffle the cards. I had only 
 one chip left, and I pushed it into the center. Kristen and George were 
 also down to their last chip. Betty had a huge pile in front of her, Bob 
 had a big stack, and Mary still had a little pile. 
Betty dealt out the cards, and I picked up my cards and looked at 
 them. I had a pair of queens, an ace, a six and a three. Probably good 
 enough to keep me from losing, but I would need to draw another 
 queen at least to win. Since Betty had dealt, I had to act first. I could 
 have opened, but I was going to start losing some real clothes shortly, 
 so I decided I had better be real careful, and I passed.
Mary passed, and Bob opened. Sharon saw the bet. George stood up 
 and removed his shirt without hesitation, dropping it into the bank 
 pile. Sharon handed him five chips and he pushed one into the pot.
Now it was Kristen’s turn. She didn’t have any chips either. Kristen 
 stood up, and reached under her tight skirt to pull down her shear 
 stockings. As she leaned over, I caught a glimpse of her white panties 
 under her dress. Kristen tossed her socks into the growing bank pile 
 and Sharon handed her five chips. Kristen sat down and shoved one 
 chip into the pot.
Jim pushed his last chip into the pot, and Betty added one from her 
 stack.
That left me. Mary had said it was best to always see the bet before 
 the draw, but with a pair of queens, I was pretty sure I would not end 
 up with the lowest hand. Unless I was really lucky, I was not going to 
 win anything with this hand either. To bet I would have to take my 
 shirt off. If I folded, I knew that meant I would have to take my shirt 
 off to ante for the next hand, but I had not been very lucky so far, and 
 I wanted to conserve my clothes as much as possible. “I fold,” I said. 
Everyone looked up at me. No one else had folded before the draw, 
 and Mary was looking at me kind of funny. Everyone took three cards 
 this time, meaning no one had a super hand before the draw. Since 
 Bob had opened, he was the first to act. He passed. So did Sharon, 
 George, Kristen, and Jim. 
Betty separated out five chips from her pile. “I bet five,” she 
 announced. Everyone looked at her. Did she have another sure winner 
 or was she just trying to use her big stack of chips to bluff everyone 
 off the pot. 
I had already folded, so it went to Mary, who quickly folded. Bob, 
 who had something because he had opened, also folded. Then Sharon, 
 George, Kristen and Jim quickly followed suite.
“Well, I guess I have you all spooked,” Betty said, as she showed 
 three tens. Everyone shook their head as they spread their cards out to 
 find the lowest hand. Bob had a pair of aces, and Kristen had a pair of 
 kings, but Betty clearly had the best hand.
“Oh my God!” Sharon said. I turned and looked at Sharon’s hand. It 
 was a pair of fours.
Kristen glanced around. “I am sorry, Sharon,” she said. “It looks like 
 you have the lowest hand.”
Sharon’s cheeks were beginning to get a little flush. “Well…” she said. 
 “I guess we knew this was going to happen. I had just hoped it would 
 be to one of you other girls. Oh well.” Sharon stood up and turned 
 around with her back to us as she reached behind her back to unfasten 
 her bra. After a few seconds she had it free. She held the bra to her 
 breast with one hand, while she threaded her arms out of the shoulder 
 straps. Then she turned around to face the circle, the bra still held 
 against her breast with one hand. “This is what you came her for 
 boys,” see proclaimed, as she pulled the bra away and let her breast 
 flow free.
And what breast they were. I had only seen girls’ breasts in the pages 
 of Playboy and Penthouse, but never in the flesh. Sharon’s breasts 
 were not huge, like some of the girls in the magazines, but they were 
 very nicely shaped, like a half an orange in size and fairly firm 
 looking. As Sharon stood there a few seconds for us to admire her 
 breasts, I noticed her nipples were big, round and erect.
Sharon sat down, but did not make an obvious attempt to hide her 
 breasts. “Ok guys, admire them while you can,” Sharon said with a 
 wry smile. “You are going to be out of your pants in no time.”
Betty turned to me. “Larry, it’s your deal,” she said. “Stop staring at 
 Sharon’s tits and start shuffling the cards.”
“Oh,” I said, and started to gather up the cards. I shuffled the cards 
 and dealt them out again. As I dealt the cards, I now noticed that 
 Sharon only had one chip left. That meant she would have to take off 
 her panties just to be in the draw this hand. After I dealt the hand, I 
 stood up and removed my shirt, adding it to the bank pile. Sharon 
 reached back and handed me five chips. I pushed one into the ante. 
 Sharon pushed her last chip into the pot.
I picked up my cards and looked at them. I had a pair of kings this 
 time, with a ten, eight and a two. Slightly better than last hand, but not 
 by much. Since I had dealt, Mary was the first to act, and she passed. 
 So did everyone else. It came back to me. I had a minimum hand to 
 open, so I could open, or we would all have to ante again, and let 
 Mary deal. I decided to open this time, and pushed one chip into the 
 pot. 
Mary and Bob quickly saw my bet. Then it was Sharon’s turn. Sharon 
 did not have any chips to see the bet. Sharon stood up again, giving us 
 a great view of her breasts again. “Ok guys, a big treat for you, but 
 just remember, you’ll be losing your pants in a minute, after I win 
 mine back,” she said. With that she quickly slid her panties down and 
 sat down in a single motion. I caught a brief glimpse of her brownish 
 bush, a little darker than her hair. After she sat down, she pulled legs 
 up in front of her and pulled her panties off over her feet. She kept her 
 legs up so we could not see were her panties had been directly, but 
 from my angle I could make out a little under the thigh of her leg. 
 Sharon reached back and grabbed five chips, and tossed one in the 
 pot.
Everyone else quickly saw the bet. Except for Kristen, who took two, 
 everyone took three cards. I looked at my three new cards. A seven, a 
 five and a four, so I still had just a pair of kings. I peeked over at 
 Sharon again, but she had shifted so I could not see her private parts, 
 although her breasts were still clearly in view. Since I had opened, I 
 had to act first. I passed, but Mary immediately bet one. Bob saw the 
 bet. 
I noticed Sharon was smiling. She reached forward and shoved her 
 four remaining chips into the pot. “I call your bet and raise you three. 
 I’m all in,” she announced.
Sharon was betting everything on this hand. If she lost, the game was 
 over, and she was the big loser. She had to stand up and let us all get a 
 real good look at her. 
George, Kristen, Jim and Betty all quickly folded. I looked at my 
 cards, a pair of kings, and folded also.
Mary looked at Sharon, then at her pile of chips. It had dwindled 
 down to a very small stack. She pulled off three chips and tossed them 
 into the pot. “I’ll call your bet,” she said. I could see that Mary now 
 had only a single chip left.
Bob had a larger stack of chips. He confidently pushed forward three 
 chips. “I’ll call too,” he said. “Ok let’s see what you bet your all on 
 Sharon?”
Sharon smiled and spread out her cards. “A full house, nines and 
 jacks,” she said.
Bob and Mary both dropped their cards. They clearly didn’t have this 
 beat.
Sharon leaned forward and scooped up a few of the chips in the pot. 
 “Now I’ll buy my panties back from the bank,” she said. She counted 
 out seven chips and put them back in the bank. She grabbed the 
 panties and slipped them on over her feet, then slid them up her legs 
 and all the way on, without standing up. Then she gathered up the rest 
 of the chips in the pot. “Let me see. Can I buy my bra back now too?” 
 she asked. 
Betty picked up her bra. “I have your bra over here,” she said. “I think 
 the rules say you can only buy things back from the bank. You’ll have 
 to win your bra back from me.”
“Ok,” Sharon said. “Enjoy the view while you can guys. You’re going 
 to be out of your pants shortly. By the way, who lost this hand?”
We all looked around at our hands. George, Kristen, Jim and Betty all 
 had ace high hands. Remember this game was played with two decks, 
 so there were eight aces in the deck. George’s second card was only a 
 ten, so he was the loser. George started to take off his undershirt, but 
 Sharon spoke up. “No George. You have to take off your pants. 
 Remember it’s in the rules. We girls have to get some break for baring 
 our breasts with one piece of clothes left, while you guys don’t show 
 anything until you lose that final piece.” George slipped his undershirt 
 back on, and unbuckled his pants. He slipped them off his legs one at 
 a time, revealing boxer shorts with an obvious bulge in the front. 
 George quickly sat down and handed his pants to Sharon. “Ok, now 
 this is more like it,” Sharon teased George. George adjusted his briefs 
 and moved his legs to try to hide his excitement. I turned and looked 
 at Mary. She was staring directly at Gorge’s problem with a little 
 smile on her face.
“I think it is your deal Mary,” I finally said.
Mary began to pick up the cards and shuffle for the next hand. I 
 turned and looked at Betty. She seemed to be checking out George, 
 and sneaking a look at Jim as well. Mary dealt out the cards, and 
 everyone tossed their one chip ante into the center. I noticed that Mary 
 finally had no chips left in front of her, although she still had all her 
 clothes. I picked up and looked at my hand. I had a pair of nines, a 
 queen, a jack, and an eight, not a very promising hand. Since it was 
 Mary’s deal, Bob had to act first, and he passed. Then Sharon, George 
 and Kristen quickly passed also. Jim seemed to think about it for a 
 minute, but then he passed. Betty immediately passed. Since I did not 
 have an opening hand, I passed. Mary reached down and pulled off 
 her shoes, pushing them into the bank pile. “I open for one,” she said, 
 as Sharon handed her four chips and tossed the one in the pot.
Everyone quickly saw the bet. People seem to be getting more 
 cautious as they lost their clothes. Everyone took three cards. I picked 
 my three cards up and looked at a queen, a seven and a three. That 
 was no help. At least the pair of nines should not end up the lowest 
 hand. Since Mary had opened, she led the betting and she just glanced 
 at her cards. “I open for one,” she said, as she pushed one chip 
 towards the pot. Everyone folded quickly to me, and I folded as well.
“Well, you have to show us what you had anyway, Mary,” Sharon 
 said. “I hope you didn’t bluff us.”
Mary spread out her cards. “Two pair, Aces and two’s,” she said. 
 Everyone just placed their cards on the floor without protest, so Mary 
 must have had the best hand. I looked around. There were a lot of 
 pairs of jacks. This was a two decked game, so there were potentially 
 four pairs of jacks, but seeing three pairs looked funny.
“Kristen,” Sharon said. “It looks like you have the low hand.”
Kristen looked at her ace high hand. Everyone else had at least a pair 
 of something. “Well, I guess you’re right. I’m out of chips too, so I 
 guess I better get this over.” Kristen stood up, reached to her side and 
 unzipped her dress. She then let the shoulder straps fall over her arms 
 and the dress fell at her feet. Kristen had a white lacy bra, and it 
 looked like her breasts were bigger than Sharon’s. Kristen was 
 wearing a white half-slip below the waist. She picked the dress up and 
 handed it to Mary. Then she grabbed the elastic bands of the half-slip, 
 and slid it down her legs, lifting one foot at a time out of the slip. She 
 then stood up revealing a very low cut white, laced panties as she 
 tossed the slip into the large bank pile. 
Kristen stood there for a minute sticking her chest out a little to 
 emphasize her breast. “You like what you see boys?” she asked, and 
 then sat down, with all the guy’s eyes firmly fix on her chest. “Ok 
 Bob, wake up. Time to deal”, she added teasingly, as she pushed some 
 of the cards towards Bob.
Bob looked down and started to gather up all the cards, and then 
 shuffled them. My eyes went back and forth between Sharon’s firm 
 breasts and Kristen’s lacy bra. The girls began to ante and I looked 
 down to see only one chip. I pushed my last chip into the ante. George 
 stood up and removed his undershirt with great flare, and tossed it into 
 the bank pile. Sharon handed him five more chips, and he anted one of 
 them. I picked up my hand and looked at it. I had an ace, a king, a six, 
 a five and a four, an ace high hand. I better find some way to improve 
 this hand, or I was in big trouble. I was going to have to take off my 
 pants now just to say in the game. With this hand I did not dare drop 
 out before the draw.
Since Bob dealt, Sharon was the first to act, and she opened without 
 hesitation. George and Kristen saw the bet. Then it was Jim’s turn, 
 and he was out of chips. Jim quickly removed his undershirt and 
 tossed it towards the bank pile. Sharon handed him 5 chips, and Jim 
 tossed one into the pot to see the bet. Betty then saw the bet. Now it 
 was my turn. I stood up, unbuckled my pants and slid them down. The 
 erection I had gotten from staring at Sharon and Kristen’s breasts 
 immediately pushed the front of my boxers out. 
“Boy,” Mary blurted out. “Larry sure likes what he sees there Sharon 
 and Kristen.”
“Next time you play strip poker Larry, you might get some jockey 
 briefs,” giggled Betty next to me.
I stood there struggling to get my pants off my legs. Finally I got them 
 free and sat down abruptly, pulling my legs up in front of me to cover 
 up my erections. Sharon reached across to give me my five chips, 
 giving me a heavenly view of her breasts as she extended her hand 
 across the circle, but this had the side effect of making my erection 
 even harder. I had to concentrate on the game more and lose this 
 erection quick. I tossed in my bet, and Mary and Bob did also.
Everyone took three cards, except for Sharon, who took only two. I 
 looked at my three cards. They were a queen, a four and a two. That 
 was no help at all. I still just had an ace high hand. I was in big trouble 
 now. I had only two pieces of clothes left, and it looked like I might 
 be sitting there in only my briefs at the end of this hand.
Sharon opened the betting for one chip. George, Kristen, Jim and 
 Betty all folded. I had no choice but too fold also, and pray someone 
 had a lower hand. Mary and Bob then folded. Obviously, everyone 
 was being careful.
Sharon laid down her cards. “Three sixes,” she announced. I had 
 figured she had three of a kind, because she seemed so sure of her bets 
 and she only took two cards. As I lay down my ace high hand I 
 searched anxiously for a lower hand. Suddenly, my heart jumped. 
 Kristen had an ace, king, jack. I had an ace, king queen. I didn’t have 
 the low hand, and Kristen was going to lose her bra! 
Kristen was also looking carefully at all the hands. “Mary, I think you 
 have the lowest hand,” she finally said. I looked down at Mary’s hand. 
 She had an ace, eight, even lower than Kristen. Mary had only lost her 
 shoes, so far, so that was not very promising.
“I guess your right,” said Mary. “But both you and Larry almost lost it 
 there.” Mary stood up and bent down and reached under her full skirt 
 to pull down her panty hose. She got a hold of the top of the panty 
 hose and pulled them down to her knees, and then sat down to pull 
 them the rest of the way off her feet. She reached over and handed 
 them to Sharon.
George gathered up the cards, shuffled them and dealt them out again. 
 While he did that, I tried to check out how many chips and clothes 
 everyone had. George had only his underpants left and he had three 
 chips. Jim also had only his underpants left, but he had four chips. 
 Kristen had her panties and bra left, plus three chips. I had my boxers 
 and undershirt left, plus four chips. Sharon was wearing only her 
 panties, but she had a big stack of chips in front of her. Bob, Mary and 
 Betty all had big stacks and most of their clothes left. If I could avoid 
 having the lowest hand, and losing another piece of clothes, then most 
 likely either George or Jim would be the big loser, but not before 
 Kristen lost her bra.
I picked up my cards and looked at them. I had a very poor hand, a 
 queen, a nine, an eight, a three and a two. I had to hope for 
 improvement in this hand.
Since George had dealt, Kristen was the first to act, and she passed, 
 then Jim and Betty. Now it was my turn. I immediately passed without 
 looking at my hand again. Mary checked after me and Bob opened for 
 one chip. Everyone quickly saw the bet. I discarded three cards and 
 waited for George to deal me more cards. 
Finally, Bob got to me and I picked up my three new cards, a seven, a 
 three and a two. Now I was in real trouble. I had a queen high hand. 
 Unless I was very lucky, I was about to lose my undershirt and be in 
 the same state of undress as George and Jim.
Bob had opened the first round, and he passed. Sharon grabbed a chip 
 from her pile and tossed it into the pot to open the betting for one 
 chip. George, Kristen and Jim all folded. Betty, with an even bigger 
 pile of chips than Sharon, grabbed a handful, counted out six. “I see 
 your one and raise you five,” she said.
Well clearly I folded, and so did Mary. Bob looked at Betty and then 
 Sharon, and folded also.
“Ok, Betty, what have you got?” asked Sharon. Betty laid down three 
 Jacks. “Well, you got me again, Betty,” Sharon said, as dropped a pair 
 of kings and a pair of threes on the floor. 
As Betty started to gather in the pot to add it to her already huge pile 
 of chips, I nervously looked around for a lower hand than my queen 
 high. Kristen had an ace high hand, and was also carefully checking 
 the other hands. She spotted my queen high. “Larry, I think you have 
 the lowest hand,” she said. “Anyone lower than a queen high?” There 
 wasn’t anyone. I quickly pulled my undershirt off and handed it to 
 Betty next to me. 
Now I was in trouble. I was sitting there in only my boxer shorts. I 
 had two chips left, which would hold me through the next hand, if I 
 didn’t bet. After that I was going to have to lose my boxers, just to 
 ante. Jim was in the same situation, and George had only one chip left, 
 so he was going to have to lose his underpants in the next hand. It was 
 some relieve that George would lose his underpants first, but Jim and 
 I would be right behind him.
Kristen began to gather up the cards for the next hand. All I could 
 think about was I was sitting on the floor in this apartment, in only my 
 boxers, with four girls I barely knew. Jim and George were in there 
 underpants, Kristen was in her panties and bra, and Sharon was in her 
 just her panties, with her round beautiful breast bouncing as she 
 shifted her weight. Sharon’s breasts were causing me an enormous 
 erection, which forced me to pull my legs up in front of me.
I pushed one of my chips into the pot for my ante, and picked up my 
 five cards. I had a pair of sixes, and a queen, a nine, and a three. This 
 was better, but certainly not a winner. Kristen had dealt, so Jim had to 
 act first. He looked at his hand for a long time, and finally opened by 
 tossing a chip into the pot. Betty saw the bet, and I tossed my last chip 
 into the pot. Mary, Bob and Sharon saw the bet. Now it was George’s 
 turn. He had no chips left, and was going to have to take his 
 underpants off to stay in this hand. He could fold and delay it for a 
 few minutes. George stared at his cards for a long time, and finally 
 stood up and looked around. George then tried to pull his jockey 
 briefs down and sit down in a single movement, just as Sharon had 
 done earlier with her panties. The only problem is that when the briefs 
 came off, George’s erection popped almost straight out. I heard Betty 
 whisper “Oh wow.” I looked at Mary. She just stared at George, as he 
 wiggled to try to hide his erection between his legs. Based on what 
 Charlene had told me, I wondered if Mary had ever seen an erection 
 before. 
Sharon finally reached back and handed George four chips, tossing 
 the one into the pot. Kristen then tossed one chip into the pot to finish 
 the first round of betting. Everyone discarded 3 cards, so a pair was 
 the best that anyone must have had before the draw. I picked up my 
 three new cards. They were a pair of sevens and a ten, so I now had 
 two pair, sixes and sevens. Could that be good enough to win the 
 hand? It was possible, but I doubted it. Then there was the problem 
 that I had no chips left to bet. I would have to give up my boxers to 
 find out. Of course, if I folded, I would have to give up my boxers 
 right after the hand anyway, so it might not make that much 
 difference.
I looked up at Jim. He was the first to act, and he was staring at his 
 cards. He didn’t have any chips either, so if he was thinking of betting 
 he was going to have to lose his briefs now too. Suddenly, Jim stood 
 up, whipped his briefs down and sat back down, using his legs to 
 cover up his erections. I think everyone but me was studying their 
 own cards and was caught completely be surprise when Jim did this. I 
 looked at Mary. She seemed confused. I think see had missed her 
 chance to get a peek at Jim’s equipment.
Sharon looked at Jim. “I take it you want to open,” she said. “How 
 many you want to bet?”
“Just one,” said Jim. Sharon tossed one chip in the pot for Jim and 
 handed the other four to Jim.
Betty then folded. Now it was my turn. “Well how about it Larry? Are 
 you as bold as Jim?” teased Kristen.
I looked at my two pair. Jim had opened and taken three cards. That 
 means he must have had a pair of jacks, queens, kings or aces before 
 the draw. He would not be betting his underpants on one of those 
 hands. So he must have at least two pair. If one of those pairs was a 
 jack, queen, king or ace, he had my two pair beat. “I fold,” I finally 
 said.
“Ok Larry,” said Mary. “We can wait. I fold too.”
Bob looked at Jim and saw the bet. Sharon folded, and so did George. 
 Kristen immediately saw the bet. “Ok, Jim,” she said. “Let’s see what 
 you got.”
“Two pair, queens and tens,” Jim said nervously, as he spread his 
 cards.
“Sorry, Jim, three kings,” said Kristen, but the smile on Kristen’s face 
 did not indicate she was sorry at all.
“Damn,” was all the Jim said, and he began to gather up the cards for 
 the next hand.
I decided this was my best chance. The boxers were going to have to 
 come off to get chips to say in the game, and it would be best to do it 
 now, rather than when everyone was staring at me. I jumped up, 
 yanked my boxers down to my knees, and sat back down, folding my 
 legs over the top of my erection. 
“Good job, Larry,” said Mary, next to me with a big smile on her face. 
 I don’t think I caught her completely be surprise, and she must have 
 gotten a little eyeful.
I finished pulling my boxers off my legs and tossed them onto the 
 bank pile. Sharon reached back into the bank box and pulled out five 
 chips. She got partially up and leaned across the circle of players to 
 hand me the chips. This gave me another good look at her breasts as I 
 reached out to accept the chips, and my erection seemed to get even 
 bigger pushing up on my legs.
Jim was now dealing out the cards, and everyone tossed their one chip 
 ante into the pot. I picked up my cards. This time I had a pair of twos, 
 a jack, a six and a four. In most of the hands we had played a pair of 
 twos would not have been the lowest, so that was good. Should I risk 
 folding and hope someone else would have a lower hand?
Betty passed, I passed, and Mary and Bob passed. Without taking 
 another look at her cards, Sharon opened with one chip. She seemed 
 very sure of herself. George looked at his cards again and saw the bet. 
 Kristen saw the bet. Then it was Jim’s turn. Jim was studying his 
 cards carefully. Obviously, he was thinking about folding. In our 
 situation, if you had a good enough hand to be sure you would not be 
 lowest, you might be better off to fold. Jim finally decided to bet and 
 threw in one chip. Betty quickly bet, and then it was my turn. 
Here was my situation. To not be the first one out, I had to make sure 
 Jim or George ran out of chips before I did. If at the end of a hand, I 
 had even one chip left and either or both of them had none, then I 
 would not have to stand up and let the girls examine my private parts 
 for 10 minutes. I could just sit here, covering up like I was now, and 
 then put my clothes back on when the 10 minutes was up. At the 
 beginning of this hand I was one chip ahead of both Jim and George. 
 Both Jim and George now had two chips left, just enough for one 
 more hand, if they saw the bet. If I folded right now, and my pair of 
 twos was not the lowest hand, then I would have four chips left after 
 this hand. If I saw the bet I would have three chips left after this hand, 
 still one ahead of Jim and George. Was a pair of twos good enough to 
 not be the worst hand? 
On the positive side, if I did bet, there always was the chance of 
 getting a killer hand and winning my boxers back. Everyone was 
 looking at me, so I finally tossed one chip into the pot, since I would 
 be one chip up on Jim and George anyway. Mary and Bob quickly 
 saw the bet.
I took three cards, but Mary only took one card and both Bob and 
 Sharon took two cards. Everyone else took three cards. I picked up a 
 pair of queens and an eight. Now I had two pair, queens and twos. 
 Definitely, not the lowest hand, but could it be a winner? Possibly, but 
 it seem a long shot.
Sharon seemed to like whatever she got in her draw. “I’ll open for 
 five,” she said. “Any of you gentlemen with less than five chips, can 
 go all in, and we will divide the pot.” 
George immediately folded, looking kind of nervous. Kristen folded. 
 Jim looked at his hand, shook his head, and folded. Betty folded, and 
 then it was my turn.
Sharon was much too sure of herself. She had only taken two cards, so 
 she may have had three of a kind or a pair with an ace kicker. She was 
 happy with her draw too. So she might have a full house or at least 
 two pair, with one of them being an ace. In any event, I felt like she 
 had my two pair, queens and twos, beaten, so I folded.
Mary and Bob folded too. “Ok, show us what you had,” said Jim.
Sharon smiled, and laid down four aces. Two or three players howled 
 in protest almost simultaneously. Everyone spread their cards on the 
 carpet and looked around to see who had the lowest hand. I wasn’t 
 worried with two pair, but I checked out Jim and George. Jim had two 
 pair, queens and fours, but George only had a King high. Could that 
 be the low hand? Then I saw Mary only had a ten high hand. She had 
 only taken one card. It looked like she had been trying to draw to a 
 straight, and had not made it. Drawing to a straight or flush was a big 
 risk in this game, but Mary had lots of clothes left, so she had taken 
 the chance, and lost.
Mary stood up and started to pull her blouse out of her shirt to take it 
 off. “Actually, Mary, you have my shoes from the first hand. You 
 could give them back to me instead of your blouse. Unless, of course, 
 you would rather give me your blouse,” said Sharon.
Mary looked down behind her at Sharon’s shoes. “Ok, I’ll give you 
 back your shoes,” said Mary.
“Not that they will do me any good,” continued Sharon to no one in 
 particular. “Since Betty had my bra, and I’ve been sitting here topless 
 practically the whole game.” Sharon sat up straight, pushed her chest 
 out, wiggled her breast back and fourth a few times. “Have you 
 enjoyed these boys? Get a good look at them. I think we are going to 
 get a real good look at your equipment after this hand.”
Betty began to gather up the cards for the next hand. As she shuffled 
 the cards I stared at Sharon’s round breasts, but my mind was turning 
 over what the best strategy would be for this next hand. If one or both 
 of Jim and George went all in on this hand, then I should just fold 
 after the draw, and keep my one chip, thus barely escaping being the 
 big loser. But if both Jim and George folded before the draw, I would 
 have to consider doing the same. I tossed one of my three remaining 
 chips into the pot and picked up my cards. I had an ace, a queen, a 
 four, a three and a two. If I just folded, there was a good chance this 
 would not be the lowest hand, but could I take that chance. Since 
 Betty had dealt, I had to act first. I just passed. 
“I’ll open for one,” Mary said. This was good, now George and Jim 
 had to decide what they were doing before I did.
Bob and Sharon quickly saw the bet. George put his cards down on 
 the floor and tossed his last chip into the pot. “I’m all in,” he 
 announced.
George had not spent much time thinking about it, so either he had a 
 very poor hand, or it had not occurred to him that he could fold in this 
 case.
Kristen saw the bet, and then it was Jim’s turn. Jim was studying his 
 cards carefully. He was obviously thinking about folding. Finally he 
 looked up. “Oh well,” he said. “This is what you girls are waiting for. 
 I’m all in too.” He tossed his last chip into the pot.
Betty saw the bet, and then it was my turn. Both Jim and George were 
 all in already, so even if one of them won the hand, the game would 
 be over this hand. The most important thing now was to make sure I 
 did not have the lowest hand, so I saw the bet.
Everyone took three cards. I picked up my new cards. They were a 
 pair of jacks and an ace. This was now my best hand of the night. I 
 had two pair, aces and jacks. This could be a good enough hand to 
 win, but then again, it might not be.
Mary, who still had a little pile of chips in front of her, studied her 
 cards for a long time, and finally opened the betting with one chip. 
 Bob and Sharon quickly folded. George was, of course all in, so 
 Sharon reached out and divided the pot, putting Mary’s second round 
 opening bet in a separate pile. Kristen then folded. Jim was all in. 
 Betty also folded, making it my turn. 
The safe thing to do was too fold. Jim or George, and probably both, 
 would be out of the game after this hand. If I just folded, I would have 
 one chip left, and I would have escaped the embarrassment of 
 standing up completely naked in front of these girls. On the other 
 hand, from the vibes I was getting from Mary, I thought I probably 
 had her hand beat. Before the draw, Mary must have had a high pair, 
 jacks, queens, kings, or aces, since she discarded three cards. If she 
 had gotten three of a kind, I thought she would have bet more than 
 one, probably five chips given the stack she still had in front of her. If 
 I was right and the more I thought about it the more sure I became that 
 I was, I could buy back my boxers from the bank. This would allow 
 me to cover up for the ten-minute show off period 
Then a thought occurred to me. What did George and Jim have? I did 
 not have any read on what they had. What if one of them beat both 
 Mary and I. Of course the pot had been split. If I bet my last chip and 
 George or Jim won the hand, the side pot would still go to either Mary 
 or myself depending. If I won the side pot, I would still have chips, 
 and I felt sure I had Mary beat. Everyone was looking at me, so I 
 picked up my last chip and tossed it into the side pot. “I see the bet,” I 
 said.
Mary looked very surprised. “Come on Mary. It looks we with have a 
 three man show tonight,” bubbled Kristen. 
It was beginning to sink in what I had just done. Why was I so stupid 
 as to risk standing naked in front of four girls on my hunch that I had 
 Mary beat? Why couldn’t I have just played it safe, and folded?
“Well, I don’t know Kristen,” Mary said, as she spread out her cards. 
 “I only have a pair of Kings. What do you have Larry?”
A pair of Kings! That was even worse than I had expected. I laid 
 down my cards. “Two pair, aces and jacks,” I said, with a big smile on 
 my face. “What about Jim and George. What do you have?”
“Not much,” Jim said. Apparently he could not beat me. George just 
 tossed down his cards and did not say anything. I looked at Jim’s 
 hand. It was a king high. George had a queen high. Well, I should not 
 have wasted my time worrying about their hands. Everyone else put 
 down their cards, and we looked for the low hand. It was George, with 
 his queen high. He was already out of the game, so he could not give 
 me anything for winning the bet. 
“Do you want to buy back your underpants, Larry,” asked Mary.
“Sure, of course,” I replied. Mary gathered up 7 chips and handed 
 them to Sharon, then got up and grabbed my boxers from the bank 
 pile and handed them to me. This was very nice of her, since I had a 
 little problem getting up to get them without showing off as much as 
 Jim and George were shortly going to have to do. I slipped the boxers 
 up over my knee, and slid them on without getting up. 
Now I felt a little better. I was still sitting in my boxer shorts in a 
 room with four girls I barely knew, in various stages of undress. All 
 the tension of the last hand and relief over the game being over had 
 caused me to forget about Sharon’s breasts, which were still on 
 display over in the kitchenette were Sharon had gone to look for a 
 timer. My erection had subsided considerably, and I was wondering if 
 I could standup now without something popping out of my boxers. I 
 decided to chance it, and got up to stretch my legs. 
Kristen and Betty were moving some furniture, apparently to get some 
 chairs we could sit in for Jim and George’s show. Except for a small 
 stroke of luck, it could have been the Jim, George and Larry show. I 
 walked over towards the kitchenette and the bathroom. I needed to go 
 to the bathroom, but the door was closed. Somebody was already 
 using it. I waited for it to be free. I looked back and saw Jim and 
 George still sitting on the floor looking at each other and the rest of 
 us, wondering what was going to happen next.
Finally, Bob came out of the bathroom, which gave me my chance. 
 After relieving myself I had completely lost my erection, and I felt 
 safe walking around in my boxers. I just had to avoid looking at 
 Sharon’s bare breast.
“Ok, now listen up,” said Sharon. “Jim and George are now going to 
 provide our entertainment. Come on. Don’t be shy. Come and stand 
 here in the middle of the room, so we can get a good look at you.” 
 Jim and George looked at each other and then slowly stood up. They 
 had not gotten their erections under control, and the girls started 
 yelling and making catcalls when Jim and George stood up. 
“Come on over here where we can get a better look at you,” said 
 Sharon. Jim and George slowly walked over towards the middle of the 
 room, their erections bouncing up and down with every step they 
 took. I looked at Mary face. She loved this. There was a big smile on 
 her face, and she could not take her eyes off from Jim and George. 
 Mary got up and walked over closer to Jim. She looked down and 
 examined Jim very closely. Then she went over to George for a close 
 look also. Betty got up and joined Mary for a close up inspection. 
 Then Sharon and Kristen when over to get a closer look.
“Can you guys dance?” asked Sharon. Kristen went over to turn up 
 the music.
The answer was Jim and George could not dance, at least not buck 
 naked in front of four girls. They wiggled around and looked silly. 
 The girls were giggling and Betty got out a dollar bill to wave at Jim. 
 Jim, however, was not interested in a dollar at this point. Kristen then 
 suggested that George should get her a soda and glass from the 
 refrigerator. George compiled, and came back and handed Kristen her 
 soda and a glass. This gave Kristen the opportunity to check out Jim’s 
 manhood very carefully. 
Mercifully the kitchen timer finally went off signaling the end of Jim 
 and George’s ordeal. They both immediately ran to find their 
 underpants. I was just starting to gather up my clothes, when I noticed 
 that Jim and George were dressed and pulling on their shoes. They 
 both left without saying anything to anyone. Jim had come with Betty, 
 but apparently he was not going to wait for her to leave.
I pulled my pants on and looked around for Mary. She was getting 
 into her panty hose. I pulled on my shirt and undershirt. I spotted my 
 shoes, but had to look around for my socks. Mary came up behind me. 
 “Ready to go?” she asked.
“As soon as I find my socks…oh there they are over there,” I replied.
I pulled on my socks and shoes. Then Mary and I said good bye to the 
 others and we started back towards the campus.
“That was a very gusty move, betting everything on that last hand,” 
 said Mary. “I don’t think I would have had the courage to do that.”
“I am still not sure why I did it,” I replied. “I thought I had you beat, 
 but still, I could’ve just played it safe. I could’ve just sat nude in the 
 corner while Jim and George tried to dance for you girls, but I wanted 
 my shorts back and something inside told me I had you beat and to 
 just go for it”.
“And go for it you did,” said Mary. “Did you enjoy the game, Larry?”
“Well, I kind of wish I had more clothes on there at the end,” I said.
“Well, you did get to see a lot of Sharon,” Mary said, “and Kristen 
 was in her underwear for a long time.” 
“Yeah, that was ok,” I said. “It’s just that I expected to do better than 
 what I did.”
“You just didn’t get very good cards tonight,” Mary said. “From what 
 I could see, you played very well given the cards that you were 
 getting. Luck is a big factor in poker. Given that you only have 30 
 chips to lose for all your clothes, luck will be a big factor in strip 
 poker. The way most kids play it, luck is the only factor. We wanted 
 to bring some regular poker skill back into the game to make it more 
 interesting, but still luck is an important factor. Maybe next game you 
 will be more lucky.”
“Next game?” I said in surprise. I hadn’t recovered from this game, 
 and Mary was already talking about another game. “I don’t know. I’m 
 not sure Sharon and Kristen are going to be all that excited after this 
 game.”
“Oh, Sharon and Kristen understood the risks in playing strip poker,” 
 replied Mary. “When you play strip poker, somebody is going to get 
 stripped. No mater how skillful a player you are, it can be you. 
 Besides, if none of the girls had shown anything, we would probably 
 have to find all new guys for the next game. Sharon gave you a little 
 sample of what you might see next game. Chances are a girl will be 
 the big loser next game, and then you can get a real good look at 
 somebody.”
“Well, you got a pretty good look at me there,” I said.
Mary giggled and smiled. “I got a peek at you. I got a good look at 
 Jim and George.”
I stared back at Mary, as we walked along, not quite able to believe 
 her attitude. “What about Jim and George?” I asked. “I don’t think 
 they are going to want to play again, and if they do, they are going to 
 be out for revenge.”
“I don’t know,” replied Marry. “Maybe Jim and George will chicken 
 out, maybe they will come back for revenge. If they chicken out, then 
 Kristen and Betty will have to find someone else, or maybe Kristen 
 and Betty will just decide to invite someone else for the next game, 
 even if Jim and George want to come back for their revenge.”
“How about you Larry?” Mary continued. “Are you up for another 
 game?”
Did Mary like me, or did see just think I was a safe person to bring to 
 a strip poker game, or maybe just a fun person to play strip poker 
 against? I was just a scrawny, nerdy looking college freshman, so it 
 wasn’t my fantastic body that made me her strip poker partner of 
 choice, but I couldn’t tell what had. 
“I guess so,” I replied.
Mary smiled. “Good,” she said. “I will let you know if we get another 
 game organized.”
