Firstly, we suggest that you try your best to sit to the left of the poker maniac if you have identified this player before the poker match. This you can frequently use your personalized poker chip sets to re-raise the poker maniac when you have chosen to get involved with a poker hand. Make sure you only play the strongest of poker hands (as suggested by our starting poker hand advice).

Poker hands which you may consider limping in with your personalized poker chip sets now assume a much lower value. As the poker maniac raises nearly every poker hand, this limits the field and so your marginal holding is not worth entering the pot with as your implied odds are low and you don’t stand to add much more to your personalized poker chip sets. Sometimes, the whole poker table will loosen up to try to combat the poker maniac, in which case your implied odds are higher.
