Maniacs loose on the Island!

[islandtime2]

This table was playing fairly loose and aggressive for quite awhile and they had bled me for about a 4th of my stack as I tried to play a solid tight game but kept getting pushed of decent but not great hands when a new maniac showed up and everything amped up. The pf bets doubled and the later bets were huge or allin and people are showing air at the river in some cases. What a great time for KK to show up in my hand. Maniac #1 starts out with a 5x pf raise which had become standard at this point so no sticker shock there. He gets a call from maniac #2. It comes to me and I still have 4 more behind me so I decide to re-raise big to isolate me and the initial raiser or take it down. Hah! - not on this maniac table now - I get 3 callers to see the flop! Other then no A on board it is not a good flop me with the 2 nines screaming at me and 3 callers. I am staring at that flop thinking of all the ways I could be beat and I remember these guys have been playing like maniacs! So there is no other information to be gotten - all they do is call or re-raise regardless of their cards - so I do what I got to do and go allin, do get a caller, and take down a nice pot to just 10-10. Maniac#1 remarks "what a horrible call" but then check out the 2nd hand below which is only 2 hands after this first one. He makes the same horrible call in my mind, with only 10-10 again after re-raising me twice and I go allin after hitting trip Q's on the flop. Nice return over a span of 4 hands on a 25c/50c table when maniacs were loose:
