I never answer with "ty" because it makes no sense whatsover. It's not like I had any influence at all on what cards I was getting dealt. I guess they could say "nh" to the dealer, but he has no influence either.
Personally, I'd say "nh" if somebody played their hand really well, complimenting on their skill. But everbody seems to use it as a mere way of saying "boy, you sure got dealt some impressive cards there", which is answered by "thank you, I used all my skills to get dealt these impressive cards".
Why is it that a straight flush is an insta-VNH!! whereas a light value bet with second pair that gets called by a smaller pocket pair rarely is?
P.S.: Imagine you win the lottery. Your friend says "Very nice choice of numbers" and you answer "Thank you". Seems weird, doesn't it?

The only time I chat with nh afterwards is when I play a hand really well vs. some DONK like AAA I have pocket 99 and I lead out on the flop big to be called my J10 and the turn a 10. I then lose the hand that a guy called with nothing and got lucky. I love saying nh - then he says TY and I say I wasn't serious.
I am almost always sure to give props to someone that played a nh weather I'm in or out of the hand.
