Help! My Dad is a LAG!

I was thinking maybe one day when he comes home from work, I would get his home game buddies, myself and our family to confront him about it. I could print out some hand histories of his play and read them outloud in front of everyone at the intervention. I dont want to hurt his feelings, how is the best way to approach this?

A poker intervention? Gotta love it.

Maybe he's not playing to make money? You should ask him WHY he plays the way that he does, what his strategy is. Then maybe lead him to a more narrow path.

Don't kill off too much of his aggressiveness however- it's a good thing to have.

See if you can edit the HUD on his online poker client, change the graphic on the raise button to say "fold" instead of "raise", in confusion he should tighten up or atleast play less aggressively.
