Poker Glossary
Maniac
A hyper-aggressive player who raises and re-raises constantly with little regard for hand strength — aggression without the strategy that makes LAG work. Maniacs create enormous variance in both directions and redistribute stacks all night. The counter: tighten up, stop bluffing someone who never folds, and let them barrel into your strong hands.
At the table
Fourth 3-bet this orbit. You flat A♠A♦ instead of 4-betting, let him fire three streets with nothing, and stack him politely.
