tbh guys I suffer from a little anti-nit tilt myself. A small amount of it can be helpful because it encourages you to keep hammering their blinds/buttons pre and raking in the easy money, but you obviously gotta slow down when they show resistance.
I think we all do because it is a culmination of built up frustration because nits are NOTORIOUSLY hard to extract chips from. Sure, you can dink them for 3bb here, 6bb there, but they just are never stacking off serious money without a big hand. And this kinda tilts us because most of the players at LLSNL will stack off with mediocre hands.
Truth be told, I've learned to basically just ignore nits. They are more or less non-factors at the table. You raise, they will fold near 100% of the time unless they have a top 4% hand and thus if they call your raise, you know EXACTLY where you stand.
And most of the time, nits don't give you correct odds to draw so then again, they are easy to play against, you simply fold.
Nits are virtually unexploitable at 100bb or less, however, once they get 200bb or deeper, you can utterly destroy them using implied odds. That is the Nit's Achilles heel. Once they start to get really really deep, their unbalanced nature and super easy to define range enables any decent thinking player to own said Nit. But even then its still hard "stacking" them because they just don't stack off weak. You can however usually extract nice big chunks of 25bb - 75bb profit from them when deep.
I know you are "kinda" kidding here, but I had to point out that this is my biggest leak without a doubt... EGO.
Ego is insidious in its ability to make us spazz out due to entitlement tilt or even flat out jealousy.
It took a tremendous amount of soul searching for me to identify how my ego was screwing up my game and I am CONSTANTLY on guard against it. I have prerecorded messages I listen to whenever I feel my ego starting to worm its way into my consciousness. I also carry a personalized abbreviated message I put on my card protector that says BEGO (beware of ego)
Don't let ego get the best of you, just play +EV poker and everything else will take care of itself
