Default My roomate is a fish...should i tell him so?

I am torn between making everyone who plays of Partypoker a little bit richer and saving him all the money on his credit card. Its kinda eating at me, and i dont think i can let it go without saying anything.

Do you really care about strangers on Party?

If you like the guy, tell him. Make some positive suggestions about how to improve.

If you think it would end the friendship then there are other issues to consider. ???

If you think he would just get angry without altering his bad play then there are also other issues to consider. ???

I don't know you, your roommate, nor your relationship. I would ask myself these questions:

How much time do you want to invest in teaching him?
How will you feel if he goes broke?
How would you feel if he became better than you?
How well will you know him in the future, and how do you think it will affect your decision?
How do you or would you feel having him in your games as a fish or good player?
How does your upbringing, religion affect your decision?

Dude. There shouldn't even be a debate about this.

Unless you hate your roommate, that is.

just go up to him and say - "hey i read this book, it really helped me, you should check it out." then give him SSH or HOH and see what happens.

One book wont turn a fish into a shark. It might help a little, though.
