KewlJ, the guy's just yanking your chain in the middle of the night because it doesn't cost anything.
Besides, I argue the same thing all of the time. When I'm haunting a Boyd buffet for seven or eight hours, the attendants point to the sign that says, "Two hour limit." I gently explain that every hour and a half, I walk out of the buffet to the restroom directly outside, then I come back in. So I'm never really at the buffet for more than two straight hours. I do the same thing at Golden Corral, except I go outside and catch a breath of fresh air before returning for my eight-hour hog-a-thon.
Now some argue that the calories actually add up in my stomach, but I tell them that each time I walk up to the food itself is a separate event, none connected with each other. So 800 calories ingested on the first trip is certainly within recommended guidelines and has nothing to do with the 1500 calories on the second trip (pasta) or the third trip to barbecue (1200 calories) and certainly nothing at all to do with dessert (don't ask). See, there is no long term if you say it's all short term.
It's exactly the same with video poker. I can't understand why you don't get this. Of course, my scale may eventually say that it's all one reality, but who you gonna believe, the scale or yourself? Argentino probably experiences the same thing vis-à-vis money. But you can't let pesky things like living in RVs define your reality. I say toss them in the scrap heap, along with the scale.
Now pardon me, Golden Corral opens at 9 AM, and I need to rest up. I'll be eating 17 sessions today...all of them winners.
