nit = weak-tight/setfarmer

Yvesaint playing 12 tables of 6-max while listening to 'I am a rock' by Simon & Garfunkel. That might be slander.

Someone who rarely plays non-premium holdings.

Not to be confused with weak tight, which is rather different.

someone who doesnt want to gambool
generally the tight passive descriptors in psych of poker fit well.

Where does the actual word "nit" come from?

I get asked this question once a day on the tables.

I ususally just tell the nit to look in the mirror.

[ QUOTE ]
As nitpicking inherently requires fastidious, meticulous attention to detail, the term has become appropriated to describe the practice of meticulously searching for minor, even trivial errors in detail (often referred to as "nits" as well), and then criticising them. "Nitpicker" in this sense was often used after 1951, predominantly in the United States.
