They put fear in everyone else when they are in a pot.....they are willing to risk it all.

Kill or be killed poker is a viable strategy in tournament poker and very foolish in ring games.
Finding the right balance between over the top agression and a weak-tight strategy is where everyone makes the transition from "n00b" to "beginner" to "fair" to "good" to "expert".
I recommend ABC poker until the player is "fair" and working hard to become "good". Mixing it up comes with experience. To paraphrase Humberto Brenes, "In order to live, you must be willing to die." I think he was talking about the need to collect chips before and during the bubble of a major event.
