This was the very first hand that I had played at this table. After watching 2 full orbits before playing this hand the players were very loose with the pf raises and their flop bets/raises.

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $4</font>, UTG folds, MP folds, CO calls $4, Button folds.
River: ($13.25) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO calls $33.82 (All-In), Hero folds.
Final Pot: $47.07
If this hand was later in the session I wouldve taken a completely different line as villian turned out to be a maniac (90/15 and 3.3 river aggression).
Aside from trying to take down the pot pf, what would be the best line to play this hand knowing the guy is a maniac? Not knowing anything, does the river warrant a blocking bet after my turn bet?
