But when you play like a nit, you have to fold like a nit .... that is fundamental!

Should I maybe loosen up a bit PF? I realize this is a recipe for disaster if my post-flop play isn't solid, but I really hate passive play which is why I cbet 90% of the time and fire a 2nd barrel when I have TP or better on a turn that isn't too scary. Perhaps I should check behind more often (obv this is dependent upon the situation)?

A general problem that nits have is, that they get married to their hands too much and feel pressured to make a profit, i.e. take a pot down or see a SD, with them. Since you need to wait a pretty long time to get that AK, AQ, KQs, TT, w/e, you don't want to let go of it. And since you don't hit a made hand on a safe board very often you need to fire a lot of barrels to push people out of pots. Against other nits that might work, against the fish who overplay their hands, this is desastrous. One thing I learned from loosening up in late position preflop was being way more relaxed about AK etc. and coming to the point of being able to just lay it down without a 2nd thought easily.

Cliff notes: You might cling to your strong preflop hands too much.
