Do I have a problem?

Here are all the poker related purchases that I've made over the last 30 days or so:

Racetrack style Poker table built by a TH-P member - pics coming soon (I already had a sporting good store hold 'em table)
1,080 Nevada Jack Skulls poker chips (I already had 600 labeled Nexgen's)
Arcylic 1000 chip carrier with 10 acrylic chip racks (I already had multiple aluminum cases)
10 plastic chip storage boxes (I convinced myself that my Nexgen's and color-up chips need to be kept in chip boxes)
2 decks of Kem's - Paisley (I already had Copag's in great condition that I really like)
2 decks of Dal Negro's - Freedom (I already had Copag's and Kem's)

I keep buying stuff that I don't really need, but my wants are killing my wallet. Is anyone else out of control?

Yeah I've bought 700 NJ Skulls last year.
Bought 500 Sands... on sale now.
Bought 600 NJ clays, don't really need them, don't really have the money.

That's life. Being undisciplined is my specialty.
There are far worse things I could be spending money and an obsession on.

You want out of control

I purchased 300 of the new bond chips
500 nevada jacks clays
and 2 days ago won an auction on ebay for 500 of the original bond clays.

THATS OUT OF CONTROL

In the musicians field this is called GAS Gear Acquisition Syndrome ie.. no matter how many guitars or amps you have there is always one more.

I guess this is the same thing CAS Chip Acquisition Syndrome.

Ive learned my leson though Buy quality now rather than latter. It will save you a ton of money in the future.

And you only live once.

Same problem here....I bought a freakin KILL button for limit kill games..........nevermind that me and my friends have never played a limit kill game together before or since.

I almost bought 500 wsop chipcos....then talked myself out of it since I am buying 500 of the new Paulsons that are coming out...yet...I still tried to convince myself that two tourney sets would have been a good idea.

WE ARE ALL SICK.

Yeah and this new custom NJ thing is gonna kill me, too... I'm sure.

Good point Yeltzen. I think we all have this problem, but it is not really a problem. If buying chips and tables makes you happy, then buy chips and tables. I have restrained myself lately...Oh wait, I am in the James Bond Paulson group buy!! Seriously though, I have gotten much better and I made the mistake of slowly building up from a dice set, to a better set, to a better set, rather than just getting what I really wanted the whole time. I would have saved a lot of money had I just forked up the dough and bought my perfect set.

Take that as advice if any of you are in the market for your first set.

You want OUTA CONTROL? Try buying 100,000 Paulson chips, when you haven't even seen the mold yet!

:shock:

I'm glad I'm not alone. And those are wise words from Yeltzen.

This behavior is nothing new to me. First it was darts (I had every dart doohickie that you could think of), then is was cigars (I bought every reasonably priced accesssory that I could find...cases, lighters, cutters, punchers...) and now it's poker. And this poker bug is worse than the other 2 combined.

Now I have to go to Ebay and find the perfect poker sign :lol:

Last year I was like this with golf... every week I needed a new club or ball to make my bag perfect. Now I'm doing the same with poker chips... I can't pick one out of the two sets I have, so I'm keeping both and I'm more than happy. Broke as a joke, but that's okay. Next is the table. Ha.
