I find this easiest to do at a site with a "bet pot" button. Try betting the pot any time after the flop if you have a reasonable part of the hand (assuming you are not up against calling stations) or any reasonable draw. Never bet less than the pot, never more, so as not to give any indication of the strength of your hand. The key, IMO, is to leave yourself with outs if you do run into a hand.
I think the mistake in the typical maniac play is not having ANY selection in their aggrssion and getting in drawing dead (or close to it). The key is to pick your spots while still making it APPEAR that you are indeed a reckless player.
Add to this, then just about when the table is thinking they have you pegged and you are going to start getting check raised (you will be able to FEEL this coming), tighten up a little (be a little more selective with the type of hands you want to play aggressively) and hope to catch some flops really hard and THEN get checkraised.
There is a lot of variance to this type of play. Sometimes you get raised all in on the first hand and lose and you are done, other times you will find yourself with a massive chip lead with 3-4 players to go.
This is NOT a full table strategy so much as it is a 6 player or less (at the final table or in a SNG) strategy.
Good luck and push wisely.
