What's a good response when someone asks you what cards you had?

I view this as an opportunity. Since I feel no obligation to be truthful, the question is: "What do I want my table image to be?"

For example, if I've been playing very tight, and someone folded to my monster hand, I may say "Bottom Pair", or it was a bluff.

Do I want to enhance my image as a tight player -- in that case, I'm sure I had a set at least.

In some cases, if I really had the hand I would want to claim anyway, I'll even just flip them over.

Another advantage I see to all of this is that if someone asks you what your cards are, you almost have a free shot to ask them what they had at some point in the future. If I can get some (admittedly suspect) information from telling a lie, that's great.
