How do you stop people from offering unsolicited advice?

Ignore. Humor. Sarcasm. Vitriole. Threats. Violence.

Start at the left and work your way across until it stops.

"Yeah, I get so lucky sometimes. Hey, I'm kinda new to this game, be easy on me" *bats eyes*.

I try it, with the eye batting, but that always just makes everythign worse.

Call him a Phil Hellmuth wannabe and get the rest of the table to laugh at him.

I play regularly with a bunch of total donks who are TV educated players.
I sit there every weekend for several hours listening to their donk concepts.
Oh yes its quite often I get "why the hell didnt you raise with that ace duce offsite under the gun."
Oh by the way we`re talking full table here. duhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Funny part is I seem to take many horrendous beats from them that in their mind solidifies their beliefs.

I generally challenge them to HU matches. Which really has no downside, because either:

a) they decline and stfu
b) they accept and then the floor says no anyway

[oddjob]

i usually ask how much they charge for lessons.

Might try humor before ignore according your personality, but otherwise this pretty much covers it.

Careful there, boys. I saw a pretty bloody HU grudge match a couple years ago. Old guy and young guy apparently had words during a tourney and somehow it evolved into a HU challenge. The Rio accomodated them by creating a NL5/10 table (I think it was) with a minimum $8000 buyin. Oddly enough, only two people sat down at the new table. Old guy lost $10K twice before he gave up.

Odd thing is, they were polite to each other during the HU match--sorta seemed pointless to do it if they've kissed and made up anyway. But once that ball was rolling, guess it was hard to stop.

This line works every time when they ask why you called:
"I thought you were bluffing again"

Sets them off like a bag of rockets in a bonfire.
