Default Re: Adjusting Implied Odds when a Maniac is in the hand

Its close, but I think calling here is good because:

1. Maniac has position, so if you flop a good draw, you can bet the flop and trap the field for multiple bets when maniac raises. This was my first thought when I read the hand.

2. When you flop top pair, you will be more likely to get value and less likely to pay off. Any hand with the maniac in it is almost an automatically protected pot. Your bet will get action, but you won't be bluffed by the TAG.
