The 10, the 4, & the 7.

It was a no-brainer; Keep the Aces, & get rid of the trash. Even if nothing improved, 2 Aces was very unlikely to be the low hand. Of course, anything that took 1 of these beautiful ladies out of her clothes faster was a good thing.

Tony couldn't believe his luck at the 3 cards he got, as they included 2 more Aces. He couldn't help but grin as he laid down his cards.

Jessica had gotten the low hand that round. When she took off only 1 of her shoes, Denise quietly instructed her that she had to take off both shoes, as both together only counted as 1 item. Also, jewelry, accessories, & such didn't count. Jessica quietly removed the other shoe, while Tony could tell she was slightly unsettled about the clarification.

Since Tony had won the hand, he won the deal. As he was shuffling the cards, he considered playing a little 'trick.' Tony had watched TV poker & the movie "Rounders" several times, learned how to play, & was a decent card-manipulator as well. Sometimes, he'd guarantee a certain person would have a low hand. Never in a regular poker game; Those players would kill him if he ever got caught. But once in a great while, in a strip-poker hand, he'd send a losing hand toward a specific player, either to break a winning streak or get a particular player naked faster.

Tony had never been caught for 2 reasons: 99% of the avid strip-poker player rarely, if ever, played the regular kind. Also, Tony didn't do it on a constant basis. Just once in a while.

Like right now, for instance.
