Re: Maniac to your left.
Obviously he cant have a real hand more than a small fraction of the times he makes fat bets. So play back at him. Limp raise him. Semi bluff your draws with big checkraises. Etc etc. With a guy like this you cant sit and wait to hit your hand before you put chips in the pot. You're going to have to put a bunch of chips in with nothing or a mediocre hand sometimes to put him in his place. You'd be surprise how fast he starts behaving if you start putting HIM to decisions for a change.
Have fun with it.
