Totally not the correct use of "nit".

Yeah, thats just a bad player not thinking tho, theres a time when overbets r usually money. I dont know about using em like this as not many ppl are gonna call 3 straight overbets, glad it worked for u but in the long run ur usually not gonna get any value out of flopping big hands like that. The overbet is usually most used when uve got like 1.5-2 times the pot size in ur stack and u just shove.
