Morphology
The noun combines 'strip' (to remove clothes) + 'poker' (a card game) in a direct, compositional way, so the meaning ‘a poker game where players remove clothing’ is immediately derivable from the parts. This straightforward compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns for naming variant games, so a B1 learner who knows both words would very likely understand it.
Etymology
Strip poker: The name strip poker comes from the simple picture of the card game poker where people strip when they lose. In this game, players 'remove clothing' to pay for losses, so the phrase means a poker game where you lose clothes instead of money.
