Nit
A nit is a player who plays an extremely tight range of hands and rarely bets or raises without a very strong holding. While nits rarely lose big pots, they are highly exploitable because their betting range is transparent — when they bet, they always have it. Skilled players exploit nits by stealing their blinds frequently and folding when they show aggression.
Example
A nit playing 8% of hands from early position — you can confidently fold medium-strength hands when they 3-bet.
