I'm in a very similar situaution. We have about 3 or 4 guys who win regularly, and a pool of about 15 losers. We usually have 9-12 players on a given night. We occasionally get a newby who gets busted for 3-4 buy-ins and we never see him again.

I think the biggest thing to keep the fish coming back, is not to ridicule their play. If they play a hand poorly, just try to convince them they have awful luck, and it's sure to turn around.

I also try to bring nice cigars for eveyone, or buy pizza or something to try to keep poeple coming.

Hopefully the fish can beat the other fish enough to keep them happy.

Ideally eveyone will lose a little, and I'll win alot.
