Here is the maniac definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Simple Definition of mania : a person who behaves in a very wild way : someone who is violent and mentally ill : a person who is extremely enthusiastic about something
So when i am using suited maniac i refer to the third definition.
When i say i have no respect for you really mean that i do not respect the play. Because i can't say that i don't respect someone that i don't personally know.
I surely don't have to explain that donkey also refer to the play.
Hoping this will clarify my first word i the other thread.
So if i used these words to anyone you will know what i mean.

I took no offence in the other thread and I still take that line. I think it says more about your understanding of the game than mine. But that isn't my problem and I am very chilled about it.
I do think though its a shame (on your part) that you didn't use the thread to understand the game better. There is nothing wrong with playing suited connectors, or any connectors for that matter, and low connectors can be gold mine. It isn't like I just shoved preflop with em, they were played properly. No-one ever made their millions playing just aces and kings
Thank you for taking the time to explain your wording
I wouldn't call IceQueenAce's play a maniac play anyways. Maniac would be shoving on the flop after you bet the pot. Maniac is bluffing with no fold equity. And even then, once she hit the flop so she could think she has the best hand.
I don't like her play because its passive and most of the time she's not gonna hit the turn and be faced with another large bet and forced to fold. By just calling pre-flop and just calling on the flop, she alloys you to have control of the pot in a large pot. But of course when she improves on the turn she can't fold anymore.

Guys...guys guys!!!!! We understand everything involved in this 'maniac' thread. It's time to call time on the matter and focus our minds on improving our game at every opportunity. I always use hands that I lose (and win) as some of the most important learning experiences.

well ,all i have to say is theres a lot of millions of maniacs out there playin that kind of shiity thing and we wont allow them just to broke our poker ethics and variable plays let us give this guys a lesson until we terminate a lot of millions....
This all comes down to luck I was playing copper free roll on 888 this afternoon with decent stack pick up AA raise 5 X the BB get called by big stack 45 of suit and 554 on the flop like I said I always get donked out of free rolls I don't give a Fck only play freerolls because this to will happen with regular buy in.
Yup completly agree with you Vic75 in the end it all comes down to luck. With regular buy-ins, people are generally even more agressive because they're actually better at poker and know how important it is to mix it up and not have a too tight table image.
In freerolls people tend to overbet their big hands and it makes them easy to read.
Damosk > Wasn't bashing on IQA, I just think poker can be misleading because sometimes not ev+ plays (I've seen a LOT worse lol) can lead to very big short term profit if you're lucky at the right time. Like I always say, donk + luck is a very good combo. We've all seen a total aggro donk with no balance in his game whatsoever run over a table and get lucky in every showdown at some point lol.
