I believe you're starting to embarrass Dan. If he actually played for and received $6000 in shoes cards we would have heard all about it right here 6 years ago. Considering how overall little he said he played outside of poker and his bare-bones approach to getting Seven Stars, this would have been a watershed moment. What I'm wondering is if the AP-claim of NEVER using the full value of the gift cards to calculate a theoretical +EV for the play, was followed to the letter. Of course, that play still could have "repercussions to today" so no telling what the wait period is on that.
Regardless Alan, just remember this. If it were you who posted about playing for and receiving $6k in Zappos gift cards, these same people here trying so hard to defend the indefensible would be calling you all sorts of stupid, making jokes about buying lifetime shoes for your ex's as part of the divorces, they'd rightfully be putting down Zappos as a place for quality shoes, and they'd round it out by making fun of you for losing thousands more than the value of the gift cards.
Even a cave man can see it.
