Open letter to my dear friend SKYWALKER
Justin, my main man, many know you as Skywalker on the felt.
You know me. I'm going to get straight to the point.
Let’s stop pretending. You’re a nit, and not the subtle kind.
The whole room knows 🧠 it before the cards are even shuffled. Your VPIP is lower than my outlook on the economy right now.
When you bet, people fold like towels in a hotel. Fast and neat, without fanfare but with necessity and a high degree of confidence that it was a "good fold."
This letter is for you because every observant opponent already knows exactly what you have the second you enter a pot.
And I'm here to give you a little advice, from one pro to another 💪

👀How to Win when everyone knows you're a nit
1. Preflop
The biggest adjustment is to 3 bet a lot more.
Open wider in late position.
✅️People fold too much to nits.
Add a few 3-bet bluffs. Use A5s, KJs, QJs.
They’ll overfold because they think you always have it.
2. Flop
C-bet more often on dry boards.
Hell, c bet more often. Period
Ace-high boards, paired boards, disconnected boards.
✅️Your bet looks strong & they fold.
Check back some good hands.
Keeps them guessing and also thinking you will fold when they bluff into you.
If you always bet your strong hands, you’re easy to read.
3. Turn
Barrel more often when the turn doesn’t change anything.
✅️They think a nit only bets when strong and you should be abusing that.
Delayed c-bet sometimes.
Check flop, bet turn with both bluffs and value.
This destroys observant players.
4. River
Bluff when you have zero showdown value.
Your river bets get a ton of respect.
Use that respect and put your big boy britches 👖on and start bluffing river.
33%, 50% 66% 75% 100% 125% are all good river sizes. Try them out in different spots.
🧠Use their assumptions against them.
If they “know” you’re tight, they fold too much.
If they think you’re passive, they call your value too wide.
💰The Core Rule to turn from "nit" to "dynamic"
Play a little wider in position, bet a little more often, and mix in checks with your strong hands.
That alone makes you unreadable to 90 percent of opponents.
Maybe one day you can help me with my game brotha.
All love,
🐺
