how do you answer this question online

When you are doing well, up a bunch at a couple tables, or even just have a few buyins on one table, and someone asks "how much you are up tonight?"
I dodged as much as I could, but when pressed, I said "only a little more than I lost last night", which wasn't true, but bought me some time. He kept pressing, but I just didn't answer.

Your play?

um, just ignore chat?

Eh, doable, but he has been a kind donator, why piss him off and have him leave?

why would ignoring chat piss anyone off?

Maybe it wouldn't, idk. I just built up a decent rapport with him, empathizing with his bad "luck", so I didn't think stopping to talk was the best play.

"almost back to even" if you don't want to tell the truth (or just ignore chat..)

whats wrong with just telling him that you're running well and are up 2-3 buy ins? You really think the fact that you're having one winning session is going to drive him away?
