At the low stakes there are many nits(players who play super tight) Do you have any idea or any tips to beat them at the tables ?

c bet a lot, dont feel too tempted to play ATC against them because you really arent going to play big pots with them anyway. as long as you deny them some big pots, they cant beat the rake.

you have to be agresive ... because you will force them to play rags also ... its the only chance.

I play almost any cards against nits because their range is so tight.

Postflop is where you will punish nits

If the flop doesn't look like they hit their tight range then bet, a lot of nits will float the flop with AK, if the turn looks like it missed the bit then barrel again.

I love nits, and they hate me

My home casino ( foxwoods) is FULL of nits, some of them won't even sit at a table with me, and imidiatly ask for a table change if I sit at their table, I love it

play looser, if he is very safe you need to open your game! Clear inside a tolerance !! play with low pairs, connected cards, 10.9s, J10s, you increase your chances of hitting nuts on a river, K, Q will be the blocks, blokcs)

First: try to play in position
Second: open your range a bit
Third: when you have a hand play very aggressive
Fourth: when you think they missed the flop bluff.

Learn to figure out their ranges. Then push hard when their range is beaten by the board. You can bluff a nit, however they’re usually not bluffing, so be careful.
Most hands you can pick up their blinds because they’re unlikely to defend.

Disclaimer- not all bits are created equal!!!!
Not much other info to go by in the OP

For me it is hard question bacause i play only freerolls, but i think that you have to play for ex. not only pocket hands like JJ, QQ, etc. but all other hands like connectors, and so on and so force, but as i said i play only freerolls, and my advice may do not work.

Do not give in to provocation and play, based on the strength of your hand.

I like to loosen up against the tight asses. Somebody who keeping it predictable with 4-5x BB raise with big cards, and a Blind steal every so often, I like calling with, suited connectors, maybe just a couple rags.

When your rags hit a pair or straight, a lot of these rocks will do their continuation bet, that's when you just start letting out the rope to hang themselves with.

Of course if the flop comes up with big cards, run for the hills, and try again next time.

I also stay away from playing the marginal hands as any mid mid-hi pair you hit will likely be out kicked, or you could come out with the lower end of a straight.

Nits are pretty easy to play against. I am talking about those that do not adjust at all.

Exploit them with aggression.

3bet them in position and cbet everytime, when they start to play back you can tighten up post flop.

The good nits will just move table, but the bad nits will get annoyed and start to play poorly.

If they are playing super tight, their stack will usually be very small, and they will be easy victim��

Tip I've got

Start 3 betting light in late position especially if you're not getting a lot of action on your raises because of a nitty image. Nothing will get your brain in a new place like trying to identify the right situation to 3 bet in the cutoff with 57o. In every casino there will be one kind of player, so I hope you to be patient as well. Good luck!

If they play super-tight, you can play aggressive against him, because for sure they can play only with good hands/situations, otherwise they will fold.

I'm tight player. Recently my AK where crushed by A4 (2 times in a row) and Q10. You just need to catch 10 on turn and 10 on river while your tight opponent will have a pair of aces on flop. So you have to overbet river against tight players because most of them are afraid of river card on pokerstars.
