few people can master the maniac style of play. I am getting better at it, although I take the worst of it when someone with 55 feels like sucking out and hits his 2 outter because i've bluffed and raised the last 5 hands. It's definitely winning poker though if you know when to shift gears.

you NEED to play well within your bankroll though, because it's swingy at first, but once you get the hang of it you'll be leaving tables with 3-4x what you came with.

If the table is tight I like raising in late position with any hand for about 5-6 rounds, and if you flop some random 2 pair against AA, you're in good shape.
