Average Pre-flop Ranges: Maniac

The average ranges in NL10 are the basis for your hand reading and for your own determination of your opponents' ranges. These average ranges have been determined by experts using tracking software.

Average Range of a Maniac in NL10

The maniac attracts attention with his very wide pre-flop ranges. He does not necessarily raise any two, but still raises too many hands. His calling ranges are also very wide. On average a maniac plays 30% to 100% of all hands.

In his 3-bet ranges, you will often find random hands such as A4o or 85s. Certain players of this type will differ on these points.

Comparison of a Maniac and a LAG

In terms of basic play type, the maniac is similar to the LAG. In the same way as the LAG, the maniac open raises very many hands and has wide calling ranges. In this direct comparison you can see that the ranges of the maniac are a lot wider than those of the LAG.
