Re: Do you keep losers happy?

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.

Good advice. Gorby and I (fortunately I'm one of the winning players at this game... I think?) tend to steam at bad players who hit miracle draws, and that's definately something we need to work on. Of course, we totally will tee off on each other too, which also makes other people uncomfortable, heh.
Another thing I've noticed is after a hand is shown down we'll often analyze odds and what not, which makes the more casual players really take a step back. It's good in the short term because it scares them, but in the long term I'm sure it keeps people away.
