If you saw the way my home games usually go - it’s definitely crap whiskey from a good glass. Or something?For me it's kinda like drinking good whisky out of a crappy glass. I'd rather play poker with good chips and drink good whisky in a good glass.
But that was then. I haven’t hosted in a while. I hope to again, and as I rebuild a collection, it’s 100% with an eye toward playing them. I’d never buy chips without the intent of playing with them. As for those who just collect - I used to view it with scorn. But if someday one of those guys sells me a mint set that’s been hidden away - I guess that would be a very good thing.
