The spelling of the word "strook pose" may seem odd to some due to its unique combination of sounds. However, this word follows the rules of English phonetics. "Strook" is spelled with a double "o" to represent the long "oo" sound as in "blue." "Pose" is spelled with a silent "e" to indicate that the vowel sound is a long "o" as in "toe." Therefore, the correct pronunciation of "strook pose" is /struːk pəʊz/.
