Default maniac betters what do you do?

My question is when you get a pair or couple of maniac betters that no matter they have will continually cap every street together. I'm playing nano-limits at pacific trying to build a bankroll to play party poker with. Should I just move to another table, play tighter or what. Even on legit draws to the nut flush should I be scared of capped flop and turn before it gets to me?

Play a little tighter, wait for a good hand/draw and ride the wave.

I try to isolate the maniac. I try to wait until the flop to do this because other players seem to want to get into pots with the maniac and it's hard to get them to fold preflop.

When I can isolate him, I play looser than normal. When the pot is multiway, I tighten up some.

Play a little tighter, expect a little more variance (your bankroll can go down fast, and up fast). If the variance makes you uncomfortable, find another table. Poker's a mental game, and if you're uncomfortable your game will suffer.

Isolating is the key. If you're in a multi-way pot and other decent players are in along with the maniac you often need a very strong hand to win because they have the same agenda as you.
