Sit immediately left of the maniac if you can, but never sit on the immediate right.

https://www.internettexasholdem.com/...poker-maniacs/

If at all possible, try to get the seat to the immediate left of the maniac.

http://www.learn2holdem.com/poker-st...t-a-maniac.htm

It is much preferred to sit at the left of the maniac in order to control the betting.

Without a doubt, it’s to be seated to their direct left, and against a maniac being in position is a double-edged sword you can wield to poker success.

https://forum.redchippoker.com/discu...-with-a-maniac

I think the second answer can be answered fairly objectively that it is better to sit on his direct left, because money is flowing from right to left on a poker table.

You guys should stick to the strange speech habits of young women in 2021.

There is a HUGE difference between an aggressive maniac, and a drunk maniac making big raises pre.

The links you posted are are about playing against an aggressive maniac. In this case you are most likely still playing hands heads-up and you want to have position on him.

Now when you have a drunk maniac making big raises pre-flop, EVERYONE at the table adjusts their play to target or trap him. When he makes a big raise and you call on his left with an ok hand, if anyone acting after you raises you are f**ked. They are all limping with big hands trying to trap. In this case you absolutely want to be last to act after drunk guy.

Capisce?

Trooper about to kick some ass if they spit on him. This is my favorite time of year, watching Trooper walk around with a jacket on in 108 degree weather because he is too lazy to put the jacket in his bag or carry it.

It's also that time of year where we get the Trooper tough guy speech, about not backing down, etc.

Latest Trooper Results:

Spoiler:

Everyone has said what they wanted to about the playing with a maniac thing, trying to put it as succinctly as possible: Limp/raise is one part of the game tree, BUT being IP means you have positional advantage for the entire hand and all subsequent nodes, its not close imo.

Sitting to a crazy players right is the proverbial "live pro logic".

Depends on the game. If it is a 100 BB capped game like $1/3. And the guy is getting a lot of callers, I like to be on his right to put in the big 3 bet. All of the cold callers will fold and you are left playing a pot with a lot of dead money against a player with a very weak range. Stacks will get in on the flop, so post flop position will be irrelevant.

Deeper stacked games, I definitely want to be on that players left so turn and river play are easier.

Wow Trooper is a boss. It’s a miracle he’s made it this long and he hasn’t got his ass kicked yet. I was listening just yesterday to the Bill Burr podcast. He was discussing people exactly like Trooper and how one day there going to run into that guy that will take him up and will kick his ass.

To their left is the correct answer.

Now, if this maniac is so predictable/bad that they do the same thing every hand no matter what, then it doesn't matter too much.

What's better? Being able to put in a big limp three bet with your strong hands or constantly three betting the maniac with any playable hand when you have immediate position and forcing everyone else out?

People say well on the maniac's right, you can see what everyone does first before you act preflop. People do flat call strong hands as well as speculative hands. If you force them to act facing your three bet when you are in position, now their hands are face up.

The last video from Bunny is.... kinda disturbing. Hope she gets help. The one prior she plays 20/40 NL and does some sim breakdowns. I was surprised to see that.

She called into Daniel negreanus podcast towards the beginning to ask about a hand she played. They way she broke it down had daniel and the other two guys in a bit of shock.

She definitely needs help but I think she's probably a pretty good poker player.

Consider as an extreme example the most maniacal of maniacs - he always buys in to cover the table before each hand, and always moves in pre-flop.

Now, where do you want to be and why?

?!? it doesn't matter whether you're calling a random hand or overcalling others if you have say K8? Of course it matters. In that situation, it is indisputably correct to be on the maniac's RIGHT so you will always have full information on who called.

If you change the behavior of the maniac to be less maniacal, so there is money behind, the correct answer will change.

Of course it matters. If guy goes all in blind and you are last to act you can call with a much wider range than if they go all in blind utg and you are next to act. You should be snap calling any A, pair, QJ+, K9+ or something like that in the first scenario. In the 2nd scenario are you putting in 100 bb with A2 with 7 people still to act?

That's because you got win-bias. The players were so bad, you would win (in the long run) no matter where you sat.

Since you won so much/easily, you felt you made the right decision.

That just goes to show how important table selection is.

I see, thanks. I mistakenly thought that it was because I was able to act after every one else responded to what the maniac did.

I saw a guy wearing a winter coat that same day in Henderson, that guy is just not quite right..... and neither is Trooper in much the same way.
