If they were to ever dry up it would be a bigger disaster then losing our on the daily voucher drinks.
He's already set up for the next phase of his poker career, transiting from "poker pro" to poker dealer.
Just wondering what coping excuses he's going to use when he becomes a full time dealer.
"Health insurance costs are out of control. If I work full time in a casino, I get offered health insurance. That's a huge cost savings!"
"Casinos offer an EDR. If I eat before work, at work and after work while taking home condiments and other foods I can wrap in a napkin, I can drop food expenses to zero!"
"With my employee discount, I can shop for clothes in the gift shop at a significant cost reduction!"
"Sleeping in my car is way safer when it's in the employee parking garage."
It will never be about the money he can make dealing vs playing cause you know, he makes more than he needs from the Horseshoe promos and Westgate promos. That would mean he's not making a living playing 1-3 poker which apparently is a huge flex.
Never understood why it's such a huge deal to consider yourself a professional poker player when you're making minimum wage at the lowest stakes.
