3 of a Kind
Okay, my brain is fried and I would appreciate some help.
I cannot tell you how many threads I've read, how many searches I've done and how many times I've returned to this site, or
eBay, or craigslist, or ...well, most of you already do this yourself so let's cut to the chase.
I wanted to do something a little different ( and cheaper ) so that if my wife ever found out how much time and money I was spending it would somehow be better if it didn't cost as much.
Yeah, right.
So I have my cash set that I love. My original foray into chip consisted of sending $5 or $20 with friends or patients when they went to vegas with the admonition to bring home red or blue chips. Didnt matter much which ones they brought but as time went on the collection got bigger and bigger and supplanted the shitty plastic chips we used to use. This began in the early 90's and when I found this site and realized I could buy cases, and tweak the chips this way and that, well, the mixed casino set ended up like this.
Lot of tweaks. Still a work in progress. First chips I brought home are not even in this box. I had just met my first wife in Honolulu and stopped at LV with $34 in change. First time in vegas. Only 7 hours. but enough to bring these home. Lol.
I was already totally into playing poker even before this. My original game was a core of 9 degenerates. We would start at 8 once a week and play until 2. Circus games. $1-3 limit. I was the only one with cash, everything else was on paper. I didn't care. I wanted to see every card and see what happened. It was a good learning experience. I still want to see every card and see what happens. But now I just do it in my head.
And to collect chips? And buy chips? And take PICTURES of chips???
It's almost like playing cards every day all the time. Right?
I have a couple of more short chapters to share, and then I'll get to my tournament question.
