maniacs win big hands b/c a) everyone hits a hand sometimes b) bad players pay them off

If they really are maniacs, don't good players have to pay them off sometimes too?
[/ QUOTE ]
this is trivially true. even so, only a very small % of the time, b/c they only hit hands a small % of the time
edit: also, note that i'm talking about big pots. sure, good players will dump hands that may be good in smaller pots against a maniac, but when all the money goes in they will be winning the pot the vast majority of the time.
