Which food are you talking about? Cafeteria food? Can you charge those to the room?

I know you probably feel like your in a tough spot right now but in a way I think a lot of us are envious of you. You are completely unencumbered to go anywhere you want, whenever you want and focus 100% of your time on improving your game. If you haven't already, I would highly recommend reading Mike Wolf's "Living out of my car in Florida.." thread as he started in an almost identical situation to you and is now crushing it. Im not too familiar with the comp system in AC, but maybe try finding a ****ty sublease or somewhere on airbnb to stay within a bus ride of the casino.
A big part of your success is going to come down to controlling your emotions and dealing with tilt. You already mentioned a time where you got stuck and started dwelling on your broken relationship, etc. Just be prepared for a day where you get coolered three times and don't know where your going to sleep that night. Not that you cant handle the downswings, but the life your committing to will experience crazy variance, which im sure your already aware of.
All of that being said, I wish you nothing but the best of luck. Even though you think your left with nothing- no place to live, no money, no girl. Take comfort knowing that you still feel alive and can hold on to your dream. That's a lot more than most of the people drudging into work tomorrow morning can say.
Hmmm, what can I say background wise. I'm asian. My family was poor.
I went to school and was a nerd. I didn't really do much school wise and
was sub par with my grades. I started playing poker back in high school
since I didn't go out much. I always tried reading poker books
but having adhd I couldn't focus too long. I played online poker for a
while and was able to move out and start a life on my own. It was good
for a while then after going through a lot of emotional turmoil it changed.
I ended back at my parents house with no job and dropping out of college.
Still playing online poker. My gf left me and then my parents got tired
of me and it was either I go back to school and stayed in the house
or left and kept gambling.
Goal wise, I only have one goal right now. To survive. I want to focus
on having a bed every night so I don't have to sleep outside or in a
bus area. Once I am sure that I will be fine for living, then I will start
making goals.
I have been looking at rooms at places other than casinos but is it really
worth it to stay outside the casino? I don't have to worry about much
since free utilites and no need to drive unless I am taking the jitney
to MCDonald's or subway for food.
My weakness is my emotions. I am a emotional roller coaster. I have to
learn how to control them
