How do you deal with MANIACS??
I find myself running into completely crazed, bloodthirsty internet maniacs when I play online, and although this has been going on for awhile, it is only now that I am seeking advice. You know those players who raise, especially heads-up, exorbitant, ridiculous amounts (i.e. 50/100 blinds, he has T3500, you have T1500, he raises preflop every hand to T800), goading you to go all-in? I know (and have executed many times) the strategy of "waiting such players out," but that can get extremely dicey with the blinds eating away at you. If anyone has anything to offer, it would be greatly appreciated, because I really hope that there's an alternative to letting the game regress into an "all-in-fest."

note: While I'm no high-roller, this is not $2.50 buy-in stuff... I'm talking anywhere from $30 to $50 buy-in online tourneys, so upping the ante isn't an option (at least for me)
