I like the idea of stealing his blinds, I know you pointed out he raises the top ~2.5% of hands, but what does he flat with?

Even though he normally has 100bb, I think we might have to wait till he has at least 200bb before we should consider a large bluff line.

The fact that villain is raising PF to 3x, and "on medium scary boards (3 cards to a flush or straight) he will still call/stack off" -- he is giving hero the odds to call his PFR light.

Why? It costs hero 3bb to call light PF, and villain will give hero 100bb every time he makes a flush, straight, ect.

So we can exploit this villain in a two easy ways:
  1. Probably steal his blinds/limps, and his limp/call/checks;
  2. Call his "small" PFR light and get paid.
To be clear, this isn't the same kind of nit I was talking about in my post. My nit would be folding his OPs on three tone boards, paired-boards, ect. -- thus making him much easier to bluff.

That being said, we can still probably bluff him when we are deep, if we play a meta-game correctly, which may include over-betting, ect.

I can image a few examples, but I'm reluctant to post them -- I don't want to be trolled by the “I have a +WR w/o bluffing, thus bluffing is -EV” crowd.

Really you need to be bombing more, double barreling more imo. Always make sure you have absolute position against a villain like this too imo.

His range is tight so its going to consist mostly of strong 1 pair hands or TPTK type hands. If he's willing to stack off w/ overpairs, there's no sense in 3betting light if you can get stacks in when you smack 2 pair. I'd actually try to play more hands IP against villain and tighten up post flop.

i want to say you should be semi-bluffing less as well but dont only semibluff w/ your strongest draws.

Also - you're not going to have a lot of pots against villain if he's really a Nit. I dont know if floating often IP is really ideal either, I would say keep your floats to hands that have some decent equity. Pure bluffs arent as necessary if, again, he is as described above.

I also would not cbet him with a medium strenght hands that not very vulnerable (e.g. KQ on AK2 rb board).

And of course only call with a very tight range if he raises pre.
This. Doesn't have to be a big cbet, even 1/3 pot will work against this kind of player. If he missed the flop he'll fold 100%.
