HOW TO PLAY AGAINST A MANIAC !!!!!

thanks for the input guys

i disagree with the whole waiting them out till you get a hand theory. i have found that the longer you wait, the more likely the will be to get a better hand when you finally catch. for instance, i was playing PS in a heads up for $10 table. the guy is raising like it his job and continously does so, so i stay patient..he shows a couple of times to be A,3 or 5,9 mostly offsuit stuff. finally i pick up K,Q suited so when he goes all in I call, he shows pocket A's with the community cards coming K-Q-5-K-A...my boat of Kings over Queens loses to his Aces over Kings

I have the some problem in tournaments where one player goes all in the first hand and usually seems to win. Every hand after that they will try to bully the table but if everyone just waits until a good hand comes along they usually get taken out. If i call all in like that I usually lose.

just gotta wait for a better hand than kq suited. Plus you can't be right everytime.

I hate playin against maniacs its so annoying

i usaully just sit and wait for a hand and slow play. if he is a mainac he will bet into you anyway and you can play off of that. just hope he doesnt have a hand that time though.

I WILL SIT UNTILL I GET A GREAT HAND AND PUT UP NICE MONEY WHEN I GET A GREAT HAND

don't get overzealous about AA

Those people are easy to play against. Just wait untill it's just you and him heads up in a pot. More often than not they have a poor hand. If you pick your time right usually you can make him go broke. I say usually because it is poker and anything can happen.
