Yes. Five card draw, nothing wild. Stud poker is for lightweights who don't understand the game.

Strip poker occasionally.

I always seem to lose.

  • Strip poker: the more you lose, the more you have to show for it.
  • Gay poker: queens are wild & straights don't count!
  • God doesn't play dice with the universe! Its more like poker.

The Terry Pratchett version of #3:

‘God does not play dice with the Universe. He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody] to be involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.’

You can’t lose at strip poker. Even if you lose at every hand, you wind up naked in front of people. In my book, that’s a goddam win.
