1) What did you have?
I thought it was "Sorry John, I don't remember." Not Johnny. Anyways, I use that.
Against players who play I don't have much respect for: "I can't tell you that! You're too good of a player for me to give you, and the rest of the table, that info for free!" - Hopefully it makes them feel comfortable about the way they're playing.
2) What would you have done with this? (shows me their hand)
"I honestly can't say. It depends on my mood."
Or: "What was your plan? It all depends on the plan." -extracting more info from him.
3) Is this what you do for a living?
"I'd rather stock shelves in the grocery store @ Wal-Mart, than try & make a livin' playing 1/2NL."
4) WHAT do you do for a living? ( I really don't want to share this)
"I am a kept man. All I have to do is give my wife enough sex so that the Viagra bottle is empty when it's eligible for a refill
" - I'm 61.
You could say: "All I have to do is keep the house clean."
5) Do you want to check it down?
"That's no fun! Anyways, it's against house rules."
