I mostly play cash games, grinding it out on the internet. Every month a bunch of us get together to play a little tournament, live game with just a small buy in, nothing serious. I join in because I think its good to play live games as well as on the internet. It's a different dynamic handling real chips and also picking up physical tells.
Anyway a few months back a couple joined in our game and they were both super loose and just maniac style players, but really had no concept of position or pot odds. Interestingly I found it really difficult to play against them because I couldn't put them on a range at all. A10o in the CO doesn't look very good when you have a raise, a re-reraise and then an all in :/ I didn't get premium pf hands the whole night, which didn't help. I wish I could've landed up with AA or KK when they tried their all in move but it didn't happen. So I ended up folding way more than usual and eventually other players knocked them out.
Have you guys also been in this situation? What do you think the best approach is to play against maniacs in live tournaments.
