my coworkers and i have a biweekly game that we all look forward to. it started out with a bunch of guys on a dining room table with no felt and a bunch of mistmatched plastic chips and we now play on a custom made table with decent 11.5 gram chips and Kems. I bought the chips, all the Kems are mine and me and a good buddy went in halfers on the table and if one of us has to move we have decied to build and identical table, split the cost, and flip for the new one.
now all together, i figure i have put in about 350 bucks overall, while some of the people i play with regularly just show up. i'm cool with that, i like owning all the stuff and people appreciate what i have done. the only time i asked for anything from any of them was when i was building the table. we built a racetrack design and after we were done we decided to put in cupholders. the only thing we could really afford was the $1.75 plastic ones when we really wanted the stainless steel ones. one of the other regulars suggested they each spring for their own, and they all did. believe me, they are glad they did every other friday night.
i guess the bottom line is, if you want to play with quality things, you need to take on that responsibility, otherwise, stick with the plastics until someone else buys some nice stuff. if it means enough to you to play with quality, then do it, but don't expect others to fund your decision.
