The problem is that they are not always betting the nuts. The other problem is one doesnt get big edges as often. One more problem is that there is less room for play, where most of the profits is, in marginal hands, really, because of air and larger ranges. The rake isnt beatable vs. nits but at high limits online. The other type of player who is commiting suicide is the overaggro.
The first time i became aware of these was at huhu lhe, the aggro figured to lose twice the rake and the overly tight but aggressive enough player had a strong enough range to handle most aggression, and so i was surprised one can nit even lhe huhu. Then there was the overaggro omaha8 limit player hu and supershort, the same thing. Then the plo nits that i also though that would be easy money but that never was true, and at sh limit holdem it was the same thing, that they let me play more hands like stealing as they folded earlier, or i got some free blinds or late defending, and they folded some too many blinds also, but surprisingly not so much more, and those are already profitable rather than marginal calls, and post flop they didnt just check it when they missed, so all in all it just was not profitable, too little marginal hands and too tight ranges to do nothing about it.
The nits are considered marginal players and they are considered losing players, and it must depend on competition and the rake. My bottom line is that nits are not profitable, so all nits or other suicide players and it isnt profitable, and even if there is one fish, it still might not be profitable, just that u will likely beat the rake then.
