Adjusting is important.

[03:26] <Miejuib> i am sitting at a nit table
[03:26] <Miejuib> like almost everyone is 10/8 or less
[03:27] <Miejuib> and im making profit by minraising any unopened pot
[03:27] <Miejuib> nobody is adjusting
[03:28] <Miejuib> stats at table are
[03:28] <Miejuib> 4/4
[03:28] <Miejuib> 3/0
[03:28] <Miejuib> 6/0
[03:28] <Miejuib> 11/4
[03:28] <Miejuib> 6/6
[03:28] <Miejuib> 20/11
[03:28] <Miejuib> and then me
[03:28] <Miejuib> 67/57
[03:28] <Miejuib> xD
[03:41] <Miejuib> so far, my strategy is like
[03:41] <Miejuib> fold shit hands when anyone limps/opens
[03:41] <Miejuib> flat call 3bets with decent implied odds type hands
[03:42] <Miejuib> which is cool because its cheaper to call
[03:42] <Miejuib> only 4bb and all
[03:42] <Miejuib> and be a bit tighter with cbetting
[03:42] <Miejuib> but otherwise, play as normal

this was an interesting table. I sat down and quickly realized that everyone was a nit. so i just started minrasing every hand. From there, the table dynamic basically proceeded in three stages

stage 1) nobody adjusted for about 100 hands. I was basically stealing blinds with atc from every position. The cool part was that when people did call, trash boards hit my range so hard, that cbetting appropriately worked more often than it should have. This probably only worked because the opps were such nits that they almost never 3bet. +.6 BI

stage 2) people started open limping more, from about hand 100-160. This was the coolest stage, and where i got most of my profit. Basically, since they noticed that I would fold quite often whenever they raised the pot, they decided to just start open limping. It didnt happen super often, but there were quite a few times when this entire table of nits limped into a community pot. the best part was that once in a while, it would only be one other dude limping, and me following after with some generic implied odds hand, and then I just took him to value town when I hit. +1.4bi

stage 3) people stop open limping, and stop being total nits, average stats now probably about 15/9. Not much to say about this, since once the table hit this stage, i just stood up with my +2bi profit and left.


And who ever said you cant make profit off nits?

nits are the easiest opponents to play against out of everyone. seriously. it is very hard to make large mistakes against unimaginative (particularly the kind common at 25nl and below) nits.
