Reactions and Reviews
1992
A truly delightful little shorty! Charming and I believe original. I remember them doing strip poker, but never touch poker. Great idea.[1]
This is one piece I could have stood to see lasting a little longer. It was so much fun as is, and if the touching would have been farther apart -- i.e., more rounds played — then it probably would have even been even more so. Nice warming feelings, and cute. [2]
I love the gym shower scene. Good exploration of concepts of games, winners/losers. The tension in poker game was great. Perfect nuances of character. Innocent but sexy.[3]
2000
A variation on strip poker with a lot more stimulating moves! Touch poker, Kirk (the inventor of the game) calls it. Very visual writing, great easily imagined expressions of bewilderment, then curiosity and quickly, passion.
Who wins? Everybody, especially the reader. [4]
