Maniac:

a

of
hyper-aggressive
raising,

A
true
maniac
is
not
a
good
player,
but
is
simply
doing
a
lot
of
gambling.
However,
a
player
who
occasionally
acts
like
a
maniac
and
confuses
his
opponents
is
quite
dangerous.

An

are
permitted
to
bet
any
or
all

their

in
one
bet.
Nuts:
The
best
possible
hand
given
the
board.
If
the
board
is
Ks-Jd-Ts-4s-2h,
then
As-Xs
is
the
nuts.
You
will
occasionally
hear
the
term
applied
to
the
best
possible
hand
of a
certain
category,
even
though
it
isn't
the
overall
nuts.
For
the
above
example,
somebody
with
Ah-Qc
in
the
above
hand
might
say
they
had
the
"nut
straight".
