How do I deal with aggression?

There are two different kinds of aggression I have an issue with:1) Maniacs that constantly 3-bet, float, c/r flops, etc.2) Fish who constantly limp and donk out on the pot, esp. when they don't do it 100% so it's unclear if there only donking made hands, and whether I can get them off them.What would you suggest to handle this?

Limp with hands that you want

Limp with hands that you want to play in raised pots. Fold Junk. Raise the rest. If opponent adjust and starts to re-raise your raises then switch back to raising strong hands and limping the others. PaulIB_FishingWondering who authorized me  to give advice

What happens when you don't

What happens when you don't get too many playable hands??  Sometimes (more often than not, I'm probably doing something wrong) it just seems like a single broadway card is not coming along and there are absolutely no hands to even make a stand or there are so few hands that you  can't make a stand because it's so obvious.  Do we just play tight in the 10/20 and 15/30 and start just aggressing in the 25/50?

Understand that sometimes the poker gods hate you and are setting you up with a game without any good hands.  So what you said to do is about right.  Remember to breath and patience is a virtue.  Don't panic even when you get down to 20bb's.  Never spew away your chips.
