PRECISELY! Forget about pocket pairs. They still have value, but if I a guy is a maniac (a decent one anyway), then he will likely stab a lot, but not really pay you off.

Play face cards! If you hit top pair, than you are most likely ahead, call maniac down and get paid.

You can't just make stands w/ monster hands, because you hit them too infrequently. Maniac counts on this.

It should be added that this strategy is absolute SPEW against solid TAGG players.
