Firstly, his opens are tight, so 3betting them lighter is suicidal against most of that range. Let’s say I even start doing that because he folds to cbets a lot, I have the remaining players to keep into consideration too. After I do it 2-3 times, they’re going to adjust and start calling, which means I will need to re-adjust and start waiting for monsters again to stack them.
Looks like a tedious and costly (if gone wrong) activity when I’m only going to be playing the guy for a couple of hours.
I think my mistake in the hand was over-estimating the nit’s calling probability on that flop to a $65 bet. It’s just obvious he has TT-QQ almost always when he raise/calls UTG so I should either check to disguise my hand OR bet 1/4th pot, checking being slightly better.
But then, I’d get flamed by 2p2 for not bet/bet/betting standard sizes because “nobody ever folds JJ there”.
