I vs. a maniac the other day and he absolutely destroyed me. He reraised me often, did pot size c-bets and basically was just a plan menace.
I kept on accepting his rematches as I was intent on learning how to beat this person. After 3 games I gave up.... I did not know how to play against this player.
He truly had me at his mercy. If I went to play back at him he'd basically commit himself; if I called his bets with small hands he'd get to decide how much money would go in. These players aren't hard to beat when short, since I can just push the hand but when we're reasonably deep I have no clue how to beat them.
I tried playing passive and let him take bluff me of a strong hand but it didn't work; I wasn't getting much cards + he seemed to catch on to that was what I was doing and changed gears.
Sorry if I'm not giving much detail. Just wondering what how you guys generally play against a maniac
