[Brag] w000t 2 hour massage - cost: 2bb's (LC)

[JackAll]

Yep, I live in thailand, just had a 2 hour massage for $9 (2.25 bb's)


A while ago I told a friend of mine who doesn't play poker, that my rent here is 10 bb's a week.
Today this was our conversation as I was about to tell him I paid 2bb's for a two hour massage:


<font color="blue">me: w00t ... 2 hour massage</font>
<font color="green">David: yeehaw, i need one of those</font>
<font color="blue">me: do you know what a "big blind" in poker is?</font>
<font color="green">David: yeah, the 2nd blind, 100th of the buy in in NL as you explaied it</font>
<font color="blue">me: yep.
the massage for 2 hours cost 2 big blinds lol</font>
<font color="green">David: and it seems to be a general unit of accounting, like "i rent my house for X bb a week"</font>
<font color="blue">me: hahahaha ... normally not a unit of acounting
that's just me showing how insannely cheap it is to live here</font>
<font color="green">David: that's exactly what i mean, you count in bb now</font>
<font color="blue">me: hahahahahahah
roflmao at calling it "general unit of accounting"</font>
<font color="green">David: i reckon it's brilliant, because it frames your costs for various things directly to the effort you had to put it to earn those things, without the middleman on money</font>
<font color="blue">me: i only call it that to emphasize the absurdity of the cost relative to my poker level</font>
<font color="green">David: like you don't have to say i work X hours a week at this hourly rate and i pay Y for this service, you can simply say I work 3 BB for this service</font>
