When Some One Says You Play Good

[Jazza]

so I am in a GREAT 5/10 half pot game, table full of monkeys. as in one drunk player anounces "I'm gonna play this next hand in the dark" and proceeds to raise and raise the whole way with this other guy until he is all in by the river, pot is about 7K, he turns over his random piece of cheese (J5) and looses.

so after a few orbits this guy sitting next to me says "you play really good"

and I freeze up a bit not knowing what to say, so I say "but I barely play any hands"

he says "yeah but that's the best way to play, have a lot of patience"

I obviously don't want him thinking this, so I say "ÿeah but I've won just one hand the whole time I've been here"

(which was true, but one hand was all I needed to be well up for the night)

but he persists in his correct thinking "but agaisnt these players if you play patiently you make the money"

I sort of shrugged and that ended the conversation

anyone know some Mike Caro-esque dialouge to use in situations like this? I don't want to be known as tight
