'''Strip Poker''', [[Exactly What It Says
Most setups will usually involve one or more attractive women, and the male character eagerly looking forward to making at least one lose her shirt... among other garments. More often than not, however, the scene usually switches to the almost fully clothed woman at the table displaying her [[The Magic Poker Equation|Royal Flush]] to a group of guys in varying states of undress - but with at least one in his underwear. Unfortunately, these are often the types of men [[Brain Bleach|no woman wants to see naked]].
Line 8:
A common variant involves a regular game of poker where one player is losing so badly that he eventually resorts to betting any stuff he happens to have with him when attempting to win his money back, eventually literally losing the shirt off his back (and the other clothes, as well).
This game, more often discussed than actually played, has been the basis for several computer games, as well as two [[Game Show|game shows]]: ''Strip Poker'' on [[USA Network]] and ''Räsypokka'' on Finland's SubTV. In porn or erotica, it's been so overused and clichéd as to fall out of favour as a [[Dead Horse Trope]] which no one but the clumsiest amateur writer dares to mention.
