The Texas Hold’em variant also means if you fold before the flop, you do not have to remove clothing. Five card draw relies on either the worst performing player in the hand removing an item of clothing, or all but the winner of the hand removes an item. The main difference between the two is that Texas Hold’em Strip Poker is usually the betting of clothes. It is usually played as 5 card draw but can be played with Texas Hold’em too. It has gained popularity in movies and TV shows, including popular sitcom Friends. It was founded in the late 19 th century but earliest attestations date to early 20 th century circa 1920 when it was played in New Orleans, USA and predominantly played in brothels, for obvious reasons. Historically it has been played with men and women. It is commonly played between 3 and 6 players but can also be played heads up (although a little weird!). It involves losing players to remove items of clothing. You have probably watched strip poker scenes on TV before.
