Dealing with a maniac (10NL)

[grossmeyer]

Ok, there is a maniac at your table, the kind who raises every hand, bets big at any opportunity he can and sucks out everytime. The kind of opponent we love to see, heh.
I sit down because I see him playing this way... 3rd hand after I sit down he does this (which makes me so happy):

I doublechecked the HH from the previous to verify he had gone all-in with the J-6 and then I called. Smart, dumb, standard? Just want to make sure my decision was correct.

With the information given, I don't know how anybody could tell you to do anything different.

Standard. Jacks are a monster compared to the [censored] he plays. Sorry you lost to his Q4 or whatever.

Good. I thought it was standard, but everyone once in awhile I read something that blows my mind.

The full results (and another one to the same guy, ARGH) are here.

Ive lost 5 hands like that in a row not long ago against one player. One was 46-54, the other 4 between 75-25 and 68-32.
