what is NIT?

OK, I might feel stupid after I get the answer but, what is a NIT? I looked on the sticky post here but didn't find a reference to NIT.

A nit is a tight-passive player that avoids confrontations. Typically, the term nit is used when this type of passive player plays in a pot-limit or no-limit game. Nits tend to avoid big pots and do not like to gamble.

thanks Genso. Is NIT an acronym for something?

No, it's just nit. And it's not necessarily in caps either.

We've had this thread before, but a NIT is someone who plays super tight. We all see the 15/13/3 TAGs (Tight Aggressive) at the full ring tables (using your PokerTracker stats) but these are the 9/7/5 types. Super Tight players.

also, besides being just a tight player, people often call others nit for away from the table things, like if you don't want to ride a roller coaster or something, you're a life nit.

Generally, it`s the egg of a head louse.

In poker, a player who is excessively tight and timid.

I am so glad this thread was started. I was wondering what had happened to my tournament play and realized I had become a nit. It is mostly in the CC ones I think because these players are so skilled I was intimidated by any raise, but I actually loosened up yesterday in the guys and gals tournament after reading this and it helped

It helped to take the first step, My name is Pooffy Fooffy and I am a nit.
