Default Re: PLO8 -- who plays bad?

If you have a read on one of the players as an maniac, then it makes this play a lot easier. Since the other player will also know this information, he will often make a isolation reraise (say with AA and nut flush draw or 2 pair) because it is unlikely the third player in the hand has a good enough hand to call with (ie AQ) when you hold AA, and you have outs anyway even if called. If I knew the maniac was getting reraised to try and make me fold I would call. I would be more swayed towards folding if the maniac who bet just got called by the second player, as it would be more likely he is smooth calling to make me come along for the ride.
