HOW TO Beat nits?
How do you guys beat nits headsup or on a 5max table? Is there anyway to win much against them?
So how do you play against them?

constantly pressure them in small pots and refuse to pay off in big pots
This is pretty interesting. But the thing is that it always seems that they will call down lighter on the flop/turn just because the pot is small.
You don't actually have to do much to beat a nit. The biggest edge comes from preflop and stealing. Just play your normal game, perhaps attack small pots a bit more and you've already beaten him.
I usually hear people saying that you should try bluff the crap out of them, but the thing is that they tend to slowplay pretty often. I do agree with you that we probably only should try attack the small pots and give up on bigger pots. HOWEVER sometimes they will call down 2 barrels and give up on the third. It's pretty hard to say if they're trapping or if they just go for the 2 barrel call and the check/fold river.
Outnit the shit out of those nits
Haha, I'm not sure if being more nitty against a nit is the way to go. But hey, maybe it works :)
Yah when they raise out-nit them...
The problem is when they slowplay though for me. I never know when to give up with my bluff barreling
If they have strong preflop ranges they will generally hit high flop textures, so play more passive with thin value and bluffs on those flops.
Figure out where they do most of their folding postflop. It is quite common for more nitty players to fold a lot on the flop, not much on the turn and a lot on the river. Other players fold a lot on flop and turn but very little on the river. There are many more variations as well. Players also adjust to a certain extent to your play and the board textures so don't overdo anything too much.
Also if the have strong preflop ranges and fold a lot to flop cbets, you should not bet many hands for thin value on the turn and river. Polarize more and uses larger bet sizes. You should play this style against all players, but it is even more important against players folds lot on earlier streets.
sounds like the player is counting on you putting the money in for them, so what is the counter to that? Not putting money in light. cking back even when you have showdown value.
