When it does happen, I answer questions honestly. I'm not going to violate trust if someone asks for advice, but I'm not wanting to be professor seminar either. Limiting it to answering questions mostly winds up with the person asking seeking validation more than wisdom. So it usually works out.
Then as soon as I show up on the river with some goofy suited hand I played on the button after six limpers that flopped a gutshot and backed into a flush... they assume I'm a hypocritical moron and life goes on.
I guess the point is to try to not be branded the good player, but if this sort of thing happens direct the conversations to just answering questions and they probably won't ask the right ones...
ETA: that is away from the table. At the table I just always felt it coming, every hand I fold is AA, and how 'bout them 'eers?
