BB is super wide as you've noted and could have something like AJo. Nit could also be floating AK here or obviously have an overpair. By your own argument I think since we are unlikely to get more of nits chips unless she hits why risk blowing them both off the hand OTF? If BB didn't have so much air in his range I would agree. But this guy 4! jamed 74o pre... OTT I can be more sure that BB is willing to play a big pot and should being trying to play for stacks. By that point it's already too late though if you've read the spoiler.
1) There was $75+ PF .. not $60. Some on this site will want to go to the 2nd/3rd decimal when it comes to 'the maths'. I'm just prepping you for them, no biggie to me.
2) If an A,K or Q hit the Turn and she is aggressive, then you are losing. She's never putting a bunch of chips in with AK/AQ here. That's just not what they do IME, especially if there are two opponents still in the hand.
3) BB is only Donking hands he's going to continue with IMO.
4) She is probably only floating AKh here, or at least one heart, maybe. This is valid, I'm just looking at the value I'll get from her v what I lose in a suck-out. And she can slow down the BB by sticking around too.
5) He plays big pots .. all the more reason to keep him to yourself.
6) When it comes to Nits/regs who bog a game/seat down, I don't let them relax one bit, I make them show me their strength before the pot is really worth something. I don't let them sit back and pick off pots. I've just found that it's not worth it in the long run. I've got one guy that will table change away from me almost 100% of the time because I raise him 90% of the time he limps .. and then he has to choose, 3-bet and take down scraps or flat and play a bloated 3-5 way pot OOP. Now he's screwed, if he raises then everyone folds. If he limps, I make him fold PF or show that he actually has a hand 'in his range'.
I'm not really trying to be hard here, but when it comes to poker I say "Win the war, not every battle." There will be a different hand for you to take her on, just maybe not this one. It probably sounds as if it's personal between me and Nits. It's more the idea that they sit around don't contribute to the game until they pick something off once an hour or so and then go back to sleep. (And I've been playing PLO lately, where this Board is just scary!!) GL
