Re: Requirements to make a stand vs maniac.

I couldnt raise the flop. A couple people try to trap him with a checkraise all-in and he folded every time.
What was probably happening was they picked up AA-QQ and where pushing, and hes sitting there with jack high.
So they win a small pot.

Exactly what I was talking about when I referred to his tendencies. You played it just fine. Against a smart LAG Id be more likely to raise the flop because against that type of player you need to end the madness quickly because they wont play a big pot with a mediocre hand. Against they guy you described, a true maniac, calling down is fine.
