How do you play against a maniac? (Big action session)

[Zybomb]

Great pots -- and nice winnings

There comes times when you have to take your reads and go with them -- even if it means making a play or a call which normally doesnt make sense

When I see these types of players at the table you do the opposite of what is normal -- bet less and call more -- these guys never stop firing

Another great move is when you have a strong hand, to bet it out on the flop (and be called) then bet it bigger on the turn (and be called) then check the river if you are first to act. I find that these type of players 80% or more of the time will make a huge bluff bet here (it is evidenced in one of your examples above)
