I think you underestimate the burning desire he has to never actually work a job. He's just like the trooper only younger and even less successful.
Even if he had no money he might well choose to live in his car or even on the streets. That would be preferable to him than accepting defeat and applying for a poker dealing job. As long as he gets his free drinks every day from Caesars he will still feel like a big shot, even if he's broke and homeless!
Watching that old vlog of Trooper where he talks about being staked in 1/2 NL showed where Troopers head is at. He would rather make $12 an hour playing as a stake horse than be on the other side of the table making at least $20-$30 per hour dealing the game.
