Does it make any logical sense that someone who is good at poker - and I have word that I am - would be absolutely terrible at strip poker? It's just poker with different stakes...

Ah, I hope you had a good night's sleep, Mikk Marquise? Let me know if you require my hospitality again.

What.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Is that a yes or no to the question?

[ridethetiger]

Why the hell do you have him over there?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Did, past tense. And because he looked like he needed help.

[hornyattorney.livejournal.com]

Er, I wouldn't have thought so...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought, too. But apparently it's possible.

[hornyattorney.livejournal.com]

I suppose it depends who you're playing with.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

I slept gloriously~ Though that's partly because I snuck out in the dead of night to get a bit of company. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Issei.

Our game was fun, wasn't it?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome. I enjoyed providing it.

Says the undisputed winner. I suppose it wasn't... too bad.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

I thought you looked like you were having fun, even if you were losing. And those cookies were marvellous, thanks again.

[lavida-loco.livejournal.com]

Mikk? You mean Tyki Mikk?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That's him, yes. You know each other?

[lavida-loco.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know him a little. If you were playin' strip poker with Tyki, were you playin' with his deck?

[coffeeadachinao.livejournal.com]

It goes to follow that if you're good at poker you'd do fine at the strip version.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yet I lost more spectacularly in that game than I ever have at regular poker, even when starting out.

[coffeeadachinao.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you were playing with a loaded deck.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Skill with poker is largely psychological. I wouldn't be surprised if you had more trouble simply because you were more nervous about the consequences of losing.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You raise a good point, Karen.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Really? I was only guessing. I'm not really very interested in that sort of thing.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Strip poker and Tyki...do I want to know?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

He needed a place to stay, and I offered. That's the gist of it.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

He told eem about that, the poor man is stuck with Cross.

And the strip poker? I can't say I ever played it. I'm better at billiards.

[Issei can make Hakuba undress with that for sure.]

If you're playing with Tyki, you have to realize that he cheats. Spectacularly. His sleight-of-hand-skills are on par with Kaito's. Trust me, I've seen it for myself.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I know that now, and I think I knew that at the time. Unfortunately, I don't cheat in friendly games with nothing at stake, which puts me at a slight disadvantage.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I never said you had to cheat, merely that you're not obligated to play against known cheaters.

...you lost, didn't you?
