The chips will be used for extra point collateral in a strip poker game. Of course, losing a game of strip poker also means WINNING since someone is going to be naked… *Wink!* But you can use the chips to see who gets to make the decisions for the night. For instance, the person with the most chips could choose the position, location, foreplay, and whatever else you think will make this night even more special!

If you are not comfortable utilizing the chips, no worries! You can simply use your clothing as your bargaining chips.

Tips for a Successful Strip Poker Date Night

The night of your strip poker date, make sure that you are both comfortable and ready for a good time. Here are a few tips to ensure that it will go off without a hitch!

  • Set a romantic mood with low lights
  • Break out some of your favorite sweet treats
  • Play some of your favorite mood music
  • Freshen up before you begin to play. Who knows how steamy things will get?! 😉

That being said, remember that you are playing strip poker with your spouse, so there’s nothing to be nervous about!

How to Play Strip Poker

  1. Your goal when playing strip poker is to keep as many of your clothes on while getting your opponent to lose theirs. However, we’re willing to bet that your clothes will come off even if you win. 😉
  2. One important tip we recommend when teaching how to play strip poker is to set your rules beforehand. For instance, does jewelry count as an item of clothing? That’s up to you! You can also decide if you want to bet your own piece of clothing, or let your spouse choose what you lose!
  3. As for how to actually play the game of poker, we had to have some lessons from our husbands (and YouTube!) to teach us how to play. With the help of the amazing Joanna of Cutify Creative, we combined my strip poker knowledge and her incredible design skills into a little instruction sheet for you linked below! {Did you know that you could make poker this cute?! How does she do it?! Check her out!}
  4. Enjoy playing Texas Hold ‘Em and aim to keep YOUR clothes on but get your sweetie’s clothes OFF!

How to Play Texas Hold ‘em

This is a simple form of poker that you will both be pros at in no time! There are a lot of different types of poker; this is just the one we learned — and it’s perfect for strip poker. You can brush up before the big night so you are totally prepared OR print off or screenshot the instructions so that you can easily reference them while playing your game of strip poker.

  1. Shuffle the deck and deal 2 cards, face down, to each player.
  2. Check your cards and place your bet using the chips. 
  3. The dealer lays 3 cards face up in between the two players (these are cards that you can “use” to finish your hand).
  4. Check your hand out compared to the cheatsheet and bet again.
  5. The dealer deals 1 more card face up.
  6. Check your cards and bet again.
  7. The dealer deals a 5th card face up.
  8. Now you can see all the possibilities and have the chance to bet again before revealing your hand.
  9. Reveal your hands and determine the winner!
  10. Whoever loses that round loses an article of clothing. Play as many rounds as you want!

If you are a visual learner, this video of some poker pros playing and explaining Texas Hold ‘Em might help you. There’s also a page on Poker Strategy specifically about how to play strip poker and Texas Hold ‘Em.

  1. Love the fact that you put “tips” in the blog for making it a successful night. Lights, treats, music…those are things I need to remember to do to help get me “in the mood.” It makes me more enthusiastic and my hubby says that my enthusiasm makes a difference in the bedroom.
