The Anime Strip Poker Tournament: Rule Re-Cap and the First Hand [Episode 146619]

by Mister-E

An audience claps as western music starts to play in the background, a camera sweeping over the crowd as one by one eight women were introduced. In a booth high above the crowd two smiling men sat, facing a camera. The first one, a clean shaven man with slicked back hair spoke first.

Sam: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first ever Strip Poker Tournament, taking place here at the Imperial Casino. Hello everyone, I’m Sam Fokker, bringing you the play by play, and up here in the booth with me tonight is Shinji Hino, the runner up in the Grand Tokyo Poker Tournament. How are you today Shinji?

The second man, a middle-aged gentleman with blonde hair nodded to his co-announcer.

Shinji: I feel great Sam, and I am excited to be here. These ladies might not be professionals, but if they want to stay clothed they had better learn quick.

Sam: Right you are Shinji. Let’s give the folks at home a whose-who in this tournament. We’ll start off with Tèa Gardner, an amateur player of Duel Monsters. You had a chance to talk to the girls before Shinji, what do you think of her?

Shinji: She’s got a bright mind, I think she’ll stand a good chance in this one.

Sam: Tèa’s clothing for tonight is matching white lace bra and panties, knee socks, a pair of black shoes, dark blue shorts and a light blue sleeveless blouse. Simple but attractive.

Shinji: Agreed. Next is a Michiru Kaioh, an up and coming musician. She seems smart enough, but I don’t know how well she knows poker.

Sam: And Michiru has chosen red lace panties and a matching bra, knee length blue skirt with a matching jacket, stockings and high heels, very nice. Next on the list is Hakura Ten’ou.

Shinji: ‘Haruka’, it’s a misspelling. Anyway, she’s a tomboyish girl who’s into racing. She knows poker a little better, but I wouldn’t count on her winning.

Sam: ‘Haruka’ will be wearing white cotton panties and a matching undershirt, black sweater, black slacks, socks and sneakers. We also have Kasumi Tendo from the Nermia ward of Tokyo, who enjoys cooking, cleaning and reading.

Shinji: Sounds like an ideal wife. She knows the game, but she seems too honest to me, her bluffs might lack enough structure to fool anyone.

Sam: And Kasumi is also wearing cotton panties with a matching bra, a tan sweater, a light blue knee length skirt, socks and shoes.

Shinji: Next is Urd Megemi... Megumi... Megami... whatever. I talked to her, she seems to have more enthusiasm then skill, not a good thing in poker.

Sam: And she is wearing a black thong, a strapless black bra, a red tube top with matching miniskirt, stockings and high heels. She’s almost starting out naked!

Shinji: I suppose in Strip Poker shamelessness does something to help you. Next up is one of my personal favourites in this tournament, Leona Heidern. A Tournament level fighter and military woman she has discipline. I have a feeling she’s got one hell of a bluff, and she could take this one.

Sam: And she’ll be competing in a white thong with matching bra, cut off green shorts with a matching vest, socks and boots. And speaking of tournament level fighters, we also have Cammy White, in yellow panties and bra, jeans, a green sweater, socks and boots as well.

Shinji: Cammy knows nothing of poker, why is she even here? If she wins I’ll eat your hat.

Sam: I’m not wearing a hat.

Shinji: I’ll buy you one then.

Sam: And rounding out the table is Gina Diggers, a world famous archaeologist.

Shinji: Not sure about her game face, but I love the head on her shoulders. Sure, some of the other girls are bright but can they calculate the odds in their heads? If her instinct is good she might place well, if not win it outright.

Sam: And Gina is wearing a white thong with a matching bra, tan vest and shorts, socks and shoes. And now, for a quick recap, here are the rules. Each player starts with 3,000 in chips in front of them.
The game is No Limit Texas Hold’em with a Lower Bet Amount of 100 and a Upper Bet Amount of 200, these are what decide the amount for the small and big blinds as well as the minimum a player may bet at any given time.
Since it is no Limit Texas Hold’em the maximum you may bet is decided by how much is in front of you and whoever else is in the hand, when one player is all in, or has bet everything they have, the betting stops and all players who have called will show their hands. If they haven’t been played yet then the flop, turn and river cards will be dealt.
If a player loses all the chips she has she must take off an item of clothing. The dealer will then give her 1,500 in chips, then the game continues. When a player is both naked and no longer has chips she is removed from the game and taken to the Losers Lounge.
Also note both socks and both shoes are considered one item of clothing, a topless woman maybe fined 100 in chips if she covers her breasts, and clothing will not be handed back to the players until the tournament is over.

Shinji: It’s all simple enough.

Sam: Now it’s down to the floor, it’s almost game time.

♠♥♣♦

“And now ladies and gentlemen...” A man said over the announce system.” Please welcome tonight’s dealer... Mr. Ranma Saotome!”

The audience roars as Ranma enters from black curtains, waving slightly as he jogs to his postion at the table, wearing a long sleeved black silk Chinese shirt with green dragon print and black slacks, a red sash tied around his waist. He picks up a pack of cards and shows it to the players, removing the wrap and taking the cards out, tossing away the jokers and instruction cards and once done he begins to shuffle the cards.

“All right ladies, let’s have a good game. Good luck to you all.” Taking a breath Ranma steadies himself for what he KNOWS will come, dealing two cards to each player. “Tèa, you are responsible for the small blind, Michiru, the big blind.”

Both girls nodded as Ranma set the deck down in front of him.

♠♥♣♦

Sam: It’s the first hand, if a girl wants to make an impression, now is the time. You may notice a small section of glass in front of each player, this way we can show you, the viewer, who has what thanks to our cameras.

Tèa: 5♥ 4♦
Michiru: 5♦ 8♥
Haruka: 7♣ 10♣
Kasumi: 5♠ 8♠
Urd: 2♦ 2♣
Leona: 3♣ 3♥
Cammy: 5♥ 6♠
Gina: 7♠ 7♦

Sam: Tèa and Michiru have posted the blinds now, the pot is at 100 chips...

♠♥♣♦

Frowning Haruka tossed her cards to the centre, folding. Kasumi also folded, but she neatly set the cards away. Frowning a little before shrugging Urd took some chips and pushed them into the pot.

♠♥♣♦

Shiji: Urd has raised, betting... 500 it looks like. She’s not going to like what she sees, Leona and Gina got her beat...

(Pot: 600)

♠♥♣♦

Leona stared down Urd as she pushed 500 in front of her, watching as Cammy bit a lip and added 500 of her own.

(Pot: 1600)

Gina simply pushed 500 out as well, biting her lip as it came to Tèa who tossed her cards away as well.

(Pot: 2100)

Frowning Michiru tossed her hand away, looking to Urd who checked. Going round the table the players still in checked as well.

Dealing three cards Ranma dropped them on the table.

♠♥♣♦

Sam: And the flop...

(Flop: 2♥ 7♥ 3♠)

Shinji: And now Urd, Leona and Gina each have a set while Cammy is drawing dead.

♠♥♣♦

Tossing in another 200 in, casually, Urd grinned placing her elbows on the table. Leona quickly and silently matched her, saying ‘call.’ Cammy slowly tossed in her own as Gina quickly tossed in her chips.

(Pot: 2900)

♠♥♣♦

Sam: That pot is looking fat already, and Ranma is dealing the turn...

(Flop: 2♥ 7♥ 3♠ Turn: 3♦)

Shinji: That changes it! Leona with a quad of three’s, she’s got this hand!

♠♥♣♦

Licking her lips Urd tossed a pair of black chips.

(Pot: 3900)

♠♥♣♦

Sam: Urd is going to be VERY unhappy shortly.

Shinji: No kidding, Leona is matching her, but Cammy is ducking out of this one now, smart move. Too rich for her maybe.

(Pot: 4900)

Sam: That’s No Limit for you, pots can get HUGE...

Shinji: Gina’s dipping her toe, hell, her FOOT in as well...

(Pot: 5900)

Sam: Haruka had the other seven, Leona’s going to start with a MAJOR chip lead...

♠♥♣♦

Taking the top card from the deck Ranma dealt it to the middle of the table.

♠♥♣♦

(Flop: 2♥ 7♥ 3♠ Turn: 3♦ River: 2♠)

Shinji: This is bad... Now Urd has a Quad of two’s, but Leona still has her beat.

Sam: And Urd is now... Oh my...

♠♥♣♦

Grinning widely Urd gathered her remaining chips, shoving them forward.

♠♥♣♦

Sam: Urd’s all in! Oh my god, she’s all in!

Shinji: BIG mistake...

♠♥♣♦

Watching Urd coolly Leona shoved her chips into the pile as well. Biting her lip to hold back a grin Gina did the same.

(Pot: 9800)

♠♥♣♦

Sam: They are all in! All three of them! Oh boy!

♠♥♣♦

“Please show your cards.” Ranma said as the woman revealed their hands. Ranma quickly tallied them up. “Gina has a set of sevens, Urd a quad of twos and Leona a quad of threes, winner is Leona.” The audience clapped slightly as Ranma pushed the chips towards Leona, who smiled at him warmly. Urd pouted and Gina bit on her nail. “Gina, Urd, I must ask you to hand over your shoes.”

♠♥♣♦

Shinji: And that’s a MAJOR win for Leona, especially at the opening hand!

Sam: No kidding, and Gina and Urd just lost their shoes.

♠♥♣♦

Both women handed their shoes to Ranma who in turn handed them to an assistant who took them to a small safe, slipping them inside.

♠♥♣♦

Sam: Before the next hand starts, let’s look at our chip and clothing board...

1st: Leona: 9800-6
2nd: Haruka: 3000-6
2nd: Kasumi: 3000-6
4th: Tèa: 2950-6
4th: Michiru: 2950-6
6th: Cammy: 2300-6
