Re: Best strategy against a bluffing maniac?
I'll leave the number crunching - i.e., exactly how far to go with a specific hand - to those better able to handle it but I will offer this one bit of wisdom.
While in theory it is correct to go to the felt with any hand that beats his [apparently] random holding (assuming you have a virtually unlimited bankroll) there is one thing you need to consider.
Your opponent is human (lol - even if it doesn't always seem so) and as such he does have something resembling a "goal".
Translation: it's probably unwise to go 37 bets on the river with anything less than the nuts; if you let this guy get way ahead he may decide to call it a night. (Or the voices may decide it for him).
Another problem with allowing him to get too far ahead - those chips may not find a permanent home in his stack but they also may not find their way home to you. You said the game was 6-handed; if so, there are 4 other places those chips could wind up.
