Two Hands vs. a Manaic

[tj00]

I have been trying out the party 5/10 6 Max games lately. It is the wild west compared to full ring games. So last night I ran into a genuine manaic. I have not seen this type of player in quite a while. These are the only two hands I played against him. They also happened to be played consecutively. Perhaps of note the manaic had been winning till this point.

The general level of aggressiveness in these games caught me a little off guard. How common are the manaic types in these games? Comments appreciated.
