Re: how to play LA maniac lucky idiot?
The first thing you should do is quit connecting the results of hands together to create this false idea that he is in a state of being 'lucky.' He isn't. He may have a huge string of situations where he ended up winning as an underdog, but they aren't connected to eachother. He has just as much chance to be lucky or unlucky the very next hand after a stretch.
Play him for what he is. A loose-maniac. Play tight, punish him. Take your edges. That's all poker is.
