Poker makes people insane, how do we bring the sanity back? And how do you present the concept that what wins in a fishy 1/2 game in a casino might not even break even at 50nl online?
I would imagine being as blunt as possible probably won't work if the person in question is a long-time gambler. Maybe throw in a few humorous sporting analogies, best sunday league team would get thrashed by an even halfway competent pro team, that sort of thing? It would be hard to phrase that without it appearing that you're belittling the live players tho, so it might be counterproductive.
