I been playing with alot of maniacs recently. These guys are raising it 85-90% of the time preflop and will even reraise it to isolate the raiser.

On the flop they will always continuation bet. Usually it will be for the pot. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on this.

Rolf Slotboom's book has a big section on this. His advice is to buy in short, sit on the maniac's <u>right</u>, and play a strictly limp/re-raise style. And do your best to get it all in pre-flop when you have a better hand than the maniacs range (aces, kings, nice double-suited rundowns, suited broadways, etc.)

If you're going to buy in full, don't sit to his right. Find a seat a few spots downstream so you can take advantage and isolate him. Let him hang himself when he has good hands.

In "Ace on the River" Barry Greenstein says the common response to a maniac is to tighten up. Greenstein says the change you should make is to loosen up and re-raise more frequently.

It should be an insta-ban to advertise Slotboom's advice in this forum.
