Daytime Poker

I feel like shit right now - don't know if I'm getting the flu or what's going on, but I figured since I didn't feel like eating at lunch time, I'd play a couple of hands (10 min session).

I started at 552.73, bought in for $15 at a table of short stacks, won a couple hands against these maniacs that play during the day - then never picked up anything big enough to hold against the incessant re-raises that come during these daytime games. I must've ended up leaving with $18.40 on the table, because I have $556.13 now.

I'd really like to learn how to handle this unbridaled maniacal aggression without getting pissed if I can't pick up a hand. I think the best way to handle it is to tighten up pre-flop, let that person steal and steal - play hands in position and let them hang themselves, and if i have a big one out of position to reraise reraise reraise. I might start a post on P5's and try to see what kind of response I can get to dealing with the situation with an AK - AJ or A10 out of position with a maniac that's willing to gamble. If I do - I'll add the link here.
