Default Re: Adapting to maniac style

buy in short, wait for Ax or 44+, get it allin preflop

with a full-stack, limp/call or limp/reraise decent hands from the button, call decent hands from the big blind, (reraise big pairs and AK of course), see a flop, hit top pair or 2nd pair good kicker, check/raise and get allin

Just race the dude. Any two broadways, any ace, and pp, and any two cards 9s +.

COH, I think your range is way too tight. For example, if you pokerstove, QTo vs random, and A2 vs random, QT does better.

In a cash game, from the SB OOP I just immediately muckalmost all the trash. Limp calling in hopes to get lucky is often just a spew. You don't need much in order to re pop him if he re raises you, A10 or better, KQ any mid pocket pair or better. I would be inclined to shove any of those to his re raise. Get him to have to make some decisions. He is totally praying upon your weakness, so don't show any. Let him know that if you get into a hand you are likely to end up felting it. Plus folding out trash PF might slow him down a bit. Catch a monster and it looks no different than any of the other 3 or 4 bet shoves and me may elect to call with the AJ, Mid pocket pair hands. Your weakness and then finally waking up makes it too easy for him to get off a hand.
