Default Re: How long can a game stay good? Possible stupid question.

CardSharpCook and MicroBob both make good points: people are willing to play when they have -EV. These people are playing because gambling is inherently fun for them. They enjoy the controlled risk taking.

The upshot if this is that you are responsible for making sure the games do not dry up. Keep them having a good time.

Even if you are not the kind to chat up a table, you can keep the games attractive. Dress neatly for the card room, do not berate the fish when they suck out, do not gloat when they drop a stack. None of that requires that you turn into Prince Charming, just be polite.
