This thread is not about short stackers.SS are the easiest possible stack sizes to play against.
I have already posted my stats, and they show that I am beating 2nl. If you take a closer look at what this thread is actually about, instead of just jumping in to make snidey personal remarks about me and my postings at this forum, you would see that it is asking how nits make a profit. Not about shortstackers, not about how to play against nits.NITS are the easiest possible player type to play.
...anyone who is struggling to beat the easiest player type with the easiest stack size at the easiest stakes possible...

Thanks for telling me how to put someone on ignore, anyway.
I make threads about things that interest me, and which I think will interest other people.Shouldnt you be making threads that are centered around you imporving as a player rather than having discussions centered around how the worst possible players play?
It might apply to my game, I don't know until I read what people say. Since this thread was started I have decided to play more tables, but play them more tightly.Are thread like this not a waste of your time as the info you gain has no direct application in your own game?
I can do that as well. They're not mutually exclusive.Wouldnt your time be better spent finding out how to play players who you arent able to beat?
I'm not sure what you mean, but the chances are that some new people will read things in a new thread and they won't have read it in a previous thread. That's why CC asks people to start a new thread in preference to posting in an old one, I assume. You don't have to click on threads opened by me, if it bothers you that much.Isnt it also a waste of everyone else's time to keep repeating things that you already know?
How do mega-nitty players make money
at PokerStars at 2nl? There are a couple of regulars that I see there every day, one is 4/4 and the other is 4/1. They play a lot of hands, but PS don't offer rakeback and the rake is quite high at 2nl.
So how are they making any money?
asking how nits make a profit. Not about shortstackers, not about how to play against nits..
A nitty game, played right, will usually garner bigger pots, when they're in one. Mainly because it usually involves a trap.
I'm not aware of the rake process on line, but in a BM casino you don't pay rake on hands you don't play.
I assume. You don't have to click on threads opened by me, if it bothers you that much.
There is now even a spin-off thread started by KD.
wha do you mean by spin-off thread by me SU?The sheer volume of threads started by you concerning 2NL SS Nits makes this difficult.

If the nit simply jams them all pre flop, then he wins blinds 4% of the time.
He needs to catch a set against an aggro with TPTK. This is how they get their money. Not a little here and there. Rather, a chunk every now and then.which is too few to be profitable at a full ring table, much less shorthanded. So he needs people to call shoves with worse hands, or else play good poker, in which case he might as well open up.
Good luck finding a nit that pushes PF. They'll smooth AA. Remember, a good nit is prolly an excellent trapper as well.
They only trap very bad players.
The simple fact is Nits have a very strong range, they also have difficulty folding postflop.. largely due to the strength of that range.
When I play that game I'm folding everything but Sklansky-1's and pairs. Small pairs and suited connectors are a one bet only option.

Im just trying to figure what your preflop ranges are.. but there arent any suited connectors in the Sklansky Group 1 range
Say... your trying to trap a trapper, huh?. ..
Let me redact that. And put it right. I'll try to keep my legaleeze proper. ..
Sklansky-1s are the only hands I'll go past a one bet with. Unless it's a fish. But that's a different banana all together. There's always an ebb and flow.
All dem other cool hands? Sure, I'll take a look at em, but not for a big investment. And I'd rather get in cheap with small s/connector, and small to medium pairs than a big hand like AQ. The straights and sets are always ghosted and very profitable, While a bet to a hit on AQ will usually garner a fold. So, the only choice you have to make big money off of AQ is by making a big PF bet. Good hand or not. It puts you at risk for big losses before you even see what you got. To me, this is counter nit.
Of course, this only applies when I specifically decide to play the nit. That decision comes after I get a feel of the table.
Normally I'm a pressure player who likes to bet big with nothing, nada. ..
I know that I don't play by the numbers. And you can always rip me up with the pure clean logic of the numbers game. But it seems to me that the numbers should only be a go to. Not a got to.
Hey, I yam wut I yam. That's why being hebephrenic is so convenient. ..

OK Im just confused now.
I would say that as you mention SC, that you are playing wider than a nit but tighter than most tags.
However, I cannot make heads nor tails of what you play from the description given.... Ill be honest, I cant even tell if you are saying you do or do not play AQ.
I really have no range bro... If the cat blinks twice, I raise.
