Trying to incorporate the plus' of the maniac strategy into my game

[Windbreaker]

The thing I learn the most is unpredictability. If you ever play a player like that, that consistently raises the same amount and over bets consistently....is that you can never really put them on a hand. Of course most players can just wait for nuts and make them pay as a result.

Generally most 'solid' players play a tight aggressive style. They also play hands in a similar way in similar situations. What the loose aggressive players do is play hands in a similar ways in every situation.

Generally if you're playing a lot of good players, you want to play similar hands in a variety of ways. You want to add the element of guess work for opponents.

However when you're playing - most of the time there are enough fishes on the table, that will pay off the tight aggressive style that makes it unnecessary to play in that matter.
