Maniac - A player who plays very loose and aggressive.
A maniac does a lot of hyper-aggressive raising, betting, and bluffing, often with any two cards. A true maniac is not
a good player, but is simply doing a lot of gambling.
However, a player who occasionally acts like a maniac and
confuses his opponents is quite dangerous and can frustrate opponents into making bad calls or putting them on
tilt.
“Smart maniacs” have a method to their madness, whereas the “simple maniac” is often the product of watching too much
“final table TV”. Maniacs are prone to traps by more patient players slow playing big hands. However, they will usually
get unwarranted calls when they actually make big hands because of their wild reputations.
