Default Re: Dealing with Maniacs

you miss the point of loosening up.
its not loosening up to try to play back at them.
its loosening up because qj is better than their starting range (or KQ etc).
there is really only one way to play against people who overbet the pot and that is to just slow play and trap them. however, you are able to slowplay and trap with more hands than you think.
buttom line is these guys suck really bad at poker. you could just be losing due to higher variance.
