how can you convince someone they suck at poker?

I have one friend who is an absolute donkey. Knows nothing about odds and calls down to the river if he hits any part of the board. Last time at AC he managed to win 200 dollars playing video poker (hit 5 of a kind), then took $100 of that into a 2/4 game and walked away with roughly 40 BB profit in an hour by reraising middle pair and bluffing with J high on the river. Of course, now he thinks he is the superstud of poker. Recently against others' advice he put $50 into Party and decided to start playing 3/6. He goes up to a bit over $200 the first day and will not shut up about how skillful he is at this game. I keep telling him to quit while he is ahead, but the donkey will not listen and gets offended as if I'm trying to keep him down. So now I'm just going to let nature take it's course. Please feel free to add the player "Tascar" to your buddylist on Partypoker and teach the lesson I could not. He might have already gone broke in the 3 days since we last spoke but rest assured this is donkness at its finest.

The only reason you should convince a friend of this is if they are losing money they can't afford to lose.But if he has the money... then its no different then him putting 50 on a craps table... but if he won that would you get mad and convince him he's a bad(crappy) craps player?It sounds like he is winning... sounds like he is doing something right(at least some of the time).Perhaps he is more aggressive than you.. even though he may be reckless he is making money... how can you argue against that.This reminds me of the guy who has to be the best in the home game... and tells everyone about cards... and now that they play... they can't possibly be better than you... thats just impossible.If my friend made this post about me and then put my PP screenname up here I would wring his freaking neck.
