I'm with you on that one...

If someone actually out-played me - I rarely say anything. (It happens more than I like!)

If they show thier hand without being called - I often say something nice (like "thanks for the free info dufus" - just kidding [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

"make a point to compliment someones hand ("nh" or "gh") ONLY if they played it well."

I used to do this as well, but I think it gives a little bit too much information to people that know what they are doing. Now I watch for people to say good hand on a well played hand and take a mental note. I will say good hand to people you have played a hand very poorly, hit some runner runner crap, etc, more in hopes that other people will think I don't know what I am talking about. On more then one occasion I have been called an idiot for thinking that it was a nh, and if they want to think that, it is fine by me.

I reserve my "vnh" to when someone takes a person out on the bubble and puts me in the $.

I usually don't say anything unless people start to excessively berate bad plays/players, usually after taking a bad beat. In that case, I type in a comment which (I think) is originally attributed to Howard Lederer: "Please don't tap the aquarium!"

Usually most of the table laughs, and those who don't know what that means gives me some info about them...

I always try to be courteous to those who are courteous to me, but if someone is berating me, I find it a laugh riot to egg them on and see what they say next. It also tends to put them on a bit of a tilt cause they just wanna try and take you out.

This has been happening a lot since I've been sitting out till round 4 on the $11s. For some reason it pisses people off that they are "working at playing good poker" early and I'm just stepping in when there are 4-5 people left.
