Re: Dealing with Maniacs
Play your solid cards that you have been playing. When you hit the flop just call, let them bet. If on the turn, you think they are on a draw and it hasn't come, bet big enough so that they can't profitably call. Otherwise just call them down with decent hands. I think of these as 'value calls'.
They make money by making other players fold. But if you call them with good hands you will make money. Don't forget about the other players at the table as they may be trying to trap the maniac and catch you too!
Of course your winnings will now have more flucuation then it did before. That's just the nature of adding a maniac to the game.
