microstakes strategy against regulars ???

So I've read about playing suited connectors against nits who play 15 table at once and was wondering if it's a good idea (I won't try it until my BR improves, right now I am close to breaking even ). The idea is this : if a nit raises and everyone folds (you are IP ) should you play small suited connectors against them ? If you hit your straight then you can really bust them and win big in such a situation (of course you will often fail ).
So, is this viable or just a waste of chips ? (again, you are IP, pretty much the only limper, the raiser is a big nit )

So against nits, not regulars. Nits are capped on lots of boards, besides they play fit-fold and are scared as f*ck of any resistance (well, maybe not all of them -> there are few who like to go broke with an overpair/TPTK). You can play SC against them but make sure Implied odds are there (IO depend not only on stack sizes, but also on player tendencies and board texture). I know you're a beginner so do yourself a favour and learn also about Reverse Implied Odds (against nits its rarely a problem though).

I took a break for about 3-4 days but now I am back to reading, that's where I got the idea from. I keep putting a math book on the side but one of those days I will invest the time needed to really study it. Also, thanks

I think this is clearly negative ev and i would not recommend making such loose calls especially in tournaments whereas in cash games there is a case for it more.
It will still be a very loose call against a nit even in cash games whatever the stakes.

If a nit raises and everyone else folds and you hold garbage, dump it just like everyone else did doesn't matter it the garbage is suited or otherwise.

nit generally play premium hands and pocket pairs so you will need to get lucky so only duel with them if you are holding good hands. I wont advice you to bluff a nit.
