A cheap meal from subway or KFC is $5, not $15 lol. Dude, I eat out almost every single day and my monthly food budget is $500 (which I'm also trying to lower fwiw)

Cooking a meal, especially if you cook in bulk, saves a ton of time over walking (since you don't have a car) to the nearest restaurant and waiting in line, then waiting for your food to be prepared. Pasta cooks in 5 minutes (and costs appx. 25 cents/meal), sauce simmers in 30 seconds, rice takes 8 minutes to cook (and is appx. 10 cents/meal)... Not only do you waste money going out to eat, you also waste time. there's no way you're going to succeed at poker if you can't think logically about something as simple as this...

You're not even wrong.

This just has to be a troll. You eat out for all 3 meals every day? Your expenses are so ridiculous that you have to play 125 hours per month (at your supposed $20/hr) just to survive. You either need an income t cover the expenses so you can build the roll or you need to cut the expenses. If you're having to win at your hourly just to survive, you're ****ed were you to ever hit a downswing like you have recently. Oh and just because what you've recently experienced is your worst ever downswing doesn't mean it's not completely normal, it's 6 sessions ffs.

This is absolute horse****.

I work a full-time job with a 1hr+ commute each way and every Sunday I cook 4 breakfasts + 4 lunches for the week at work + pre-prepare 2 evening meals for the week + cook a roast dinner.

It takes me sub-2 hours and saves me a colossal amount of money, like at your spending rate that's $150. Cost to me is ~$40. It also saves me time at work because I'm not going out to hang around fast food joints, I'm microwaving food and walking it to my desk.

You're just making excuses to be a lazy kunt mate. Even slapping together a bacon sandwich in the morning and throwing a frozen pizza in the oven and calling it dinner would be saving you money and probably be healthier than scarfing down KFC on the daily.

I'm calling semi-troll.

Real person who goes to casino and spunks off a few stacks, probably his parent's money.

All the rest of it is mainly invention coz op is a Walter Mitty/narcissist combo.

Still a great thread though...plenty of other contributors making their play for **** of the year.

mooooaaaarrr

OP your GF doesn't know how to cook?

Heading to the casino for a week. Just packed some almonds, peanuts, 4 avocados, some jerky, and 4 pckgs of tuna. I'll eat one meal a day at the casino and use this for snacks. I'm Keto or I'd toss in some bananas and apples. About $12.

I'm at 220lbs and will survive the week on the road on less than $60.

I also have enough money to spend as much as I want on food.

Exactly.

Infact this thread is A+++ either way.If its a troll, then its one of the best troll threads ive been reading ever on any forum.

If its not a troll, then the pure trainwreckfactor and sheer amount of delusional thoughtprocesses is also A+++ on its own.

Sitting in a casino for hours on end is unhealthy enough as it is. The least you can do is eat well, OP. It is dirt cheap to bulk make rice/pasta, beans, veggies and you will feel better to boot. Plus, if you're serious about that gym life you need to get your diet in order. And, I would imagine, the more parts of your life that are completely under your control, the better. It's bad enough to end up broke, don't end up fat and unhealthy too.

Can of spinach would do the trick. Good nutrition plus exercise when you have to run off to the bathroom.

My girlfriend does know how to cook, but she works so often that she usually doesn't have time.

I could try cooking dinner at home after the end of my session, but I'm not going to go all the way home midway through a session just to cook. I'll simply buy food at the casino instead. Especially if I'm deep-stacked and I don't want to leave the table for too long or else my chips will get picked up.

And wtf, this is a casino, not an office building. You can't just bring a tub of food in and then use their microwave to heat it up. You need food that is fresh and warm. And f**k eating fruit and nuts as a meal. That isn't a real meal. That's a snack. I need something with protein and carbs, like a roast meal.

You know, a lot of the 2/5 regs at my casino spent $25+ per meal getting UberEats delivered to the casino. I'm pretty sure they spend more money on food than I do. Why is everyone so shocked at what I spend?

FYI, I keep my home cooked meal (usually rice + veggies + meat) in a hot thermos that keeps it at a post microwaved temperature even 8 hours after packing my meal. I also have a bag of fruit, nuts, carrot sticks to snack on. I do it for health reasons, but it's also v cost effective. Sometimes I bring in a $3.50 Vietnamese Banh Mi if I'm too lazy to make food.

I eat at the table, but if that is too embarrassing for you to do, just eat at the couches at the sports bar.

#wholesomereg

Uhhhh, because its a clear difference between lets say a 2/5 reg (maybe longterm winner also) with lets say a 20K or 25K roll to his name, compared to you that is playing even 1/3 on the verge of underrolled with like 5K to your name?

You still dont get it? That you simply cant afford torching off a whopping $1300 pr month on food with your roll and income possibilites grinding 1/3? That you cant buy your girlfriend $800 smartphone when you are in bankrollbuilding mode on a short roll? Those kind of big expences is bringing you one step closer to busto, slowly but steady.

If your girlfriend is working all the time why were you always having to buy her so much ****?

Didn't he previously state that his gf barely worked?

That's what I was thinking too but couldn't be bothered to go back and check.

OP: "I make too much money to cook my own food"

Also OP: "I barely have enough to play 1/3 live"

oops

part time work but still doesn't have the time to cook. that's interesting.

I think what OP means is she works part-time but since she's a princess, that's already working too much. OP needs to step up his game and buy her more dinners

the plot thickens

Mate you are a poker professional now. You have quit your job, there is no excuse now. If being a poker professional is your dream, then maybe start taking your dream seriously and actually live and breath poker. Otherwise it is back on the delivery bike.

All day to improve your game and do some home cooking.
