A good observation is that kind of loose player raise with something like 5 7 suited or a low pocket pair like 4-4. If you can see a couple of his hand (sometime they show their bluff, that can be helpfull) you will know it well. If I see that this kind of player just call, I play a little bit less conservative and raise with somethin like K-10 suited. He will probably call, and your chance to get him with the bluff are very high

playin against a maniac is easy..... bet aggressive on your best hands... and if he calls ur all in... then you'll just double up everytime... fold on all ur crapy hands and go all in with the best hands..... he'll stop callin eventually trust me

Thumbs up no need to call him a girl

I've learned just pointing out that the player had NOTHING (always in caps) raises his dander enough. You only need to burn him once, and not even a big burn. he'll behave but be forwarned he's placed a target over you name.

ok guy's here's the deal ive played both ways ive played the maniac way and ill tell ya the best way to get them/me at times is simply this play a hand that u would usally play and fold a hand u usally would fold the reson i say this is simple if he/she/me goes all in then usally everyone folds but if you call a hand u normaly would call then hey you will prolby win 75% of the time and if you play loose players like lets say you know u got him beat check him/her let him/her go all in then u got all the nuts in one bag.and now you got the chips to do a lil bossing around your self.when i play a hand if i think it's got you beat ill go all in 90% of the time

the best advice when playing against a maniac is to play very tight on small hands but re-raise them with an Ace,x hand
