I think switching to games with a chance of real money payout might actually be worse for a gambling addiction because she can rationalize it with "I'm gonna win my losses back or get rich" as opposed to strictly play money games where at least it's not a potential excuse.

I don't remember this scene from the movie. This surprises me as it's one of my favorite movies.

Of course, we as poker players shouldn't have many qualms about winning someone's discretionary/entertainment money, but you have to be a real POS to walk off with someone's cash knowing they can't help themselves and are sliding towards destitution.

Such as what? A fish in one of my games lost 3 restaurants from poker. No one asked him is he could afford to play as poorly as he did, especially the casino.
