Trust me, you make one of these with your chips in the poker room, and you'll be amazed at the reaction you'll get. Not only will everyone at your table be talking about it, but people from other tables will come over to look at it.
Only downside is, I don't win too much when I build these things. Maybe I'm not paying enough attention to how my opponents are playing. Or worse, maybe my opponents are paying attention to how I'm playing.
Either way, these things are fun to build, but they're bad news for my bottom line.
