Justifying Purchases
STRIP #196
For those who don't know, Andy Beal is the billionaire who challenged the top pros in the highest stakes cash games ever, including $100K/200K LHE, where a big blind was worth a fancy sports car (and a small blind was worth a less fancy sports car). Corbin never played with him, of course, but he's just trying to get Violet to agree to buying the car. I haven't played many cash games lately, but I often did the same thing when I was, equating all purchases to how many big blinds or buy-ins they were, based on whatever stakes I was playing at the time. It can really make you spend a lot more than you should on things if you're an idiot like me and Corbin!

This is the best +ev in a long time. As a poker player I can really understand the need to sometimes compare prices to buy-ins etc.
It's easy for a poker player to create a distorted value of money in his/her mind. A great strip anyways.
Love this one!
why is violet pregnant in the 3rd panel?
They're also wearing different clothes in every panel and his bankroll is increasing in every panel. This strip takes place over the course of like two years.
funny as hell, I love it...
your best work for a while...
keep it up
