MF: You play Texas Hold 'Em on the show, but with a twist, right?

CH: Yeah, if you lose you have to remove an article of clothing or do a dare. My dare was I had to give this guy a lap dance and if the guy got turned on, then I got all my chips back and didn't have to take off any clothes. I kept eye contact with the guy the whole time and he liked that--obviously. They put one of those things on him to see if his heart rate went up, and his heart rate went way up!

What were some of the other dares dished out?

One girl had to put a condom in her mouth and then put the condom on a dildo. I would never frickin' do that.

Since you're playing strip poker, do you start all bundled up in a parka with as many layers on as possible?

We had seven items of clothing. I found a shirt with an ace card on it and kind of dressed up as a gangster girl--a hat, suspenders, my shoes, bra, panties, and shorts.

Any lucky articles of clothing?

Actually, I did have a lucky shirt--a cute little Sapphire tank top. I didn't wear it because I wanted to wear my ace shirt to represent playing poker. But when I was on the show, I actually kept my lucky shirt with me the whole time. I came in third place, which is better than sixth. But I didn't win.

Is there one thing about playing poker that you would say is most important to keep in mind?

Be patient. Don't just make a decision right away when you're playing. Stay focused and look at all your cards. Look ever the cards that were dealt and just make sure you are being thorough. To be honest, I'm not really that great of a poker player, so I just went with the flow. I mean, I knew when I had a pair and everything.
