Ok, here is my situation. I really enjoyed playing poker, but having only 200 plastic chips and a bunch of buttons (please laugh, it was quite funny) my friends and I decided we need some real chips.

So after it was pretty much unanimous that we needed some new chips I saw some nice 11.5 gram ones with a case at a local discount store for 49.99 Canadian. Also there was a poker table top that is solid wood and comes with a carrying case. I figured it would be an awesome touch in comparison to an oversized rectangular table. The table top was also 49.99.

Since then we have played about 5-6 times at my house and never at anyone else’s' house. Granted I do have the best basement for poker.

Anyway, here is my dilemma. My mom (we are all seniors) always prepares a huge amount of food when my friends come over. But only one has chipped in 10 bucks to help pay for the chips/table.

Should I ask the others to put some money in? I think it is clear by now that they won't put it in on their own. Or is it accepted that the guy who bought the poker stuff pays for it and that’s the end of it?

I would really appreciate any input. Thanks guys!
