6-handed I'm in the SB with QQ. UTG+1 limps, maniac cutoff ($45 stack) makes it $7. He is playing erratically and insane, doing stuff like open pushing for $40 and raising pretty much every hand preflop. I have not seen him go crazy postflop though. That doesn't mean he isn't capable of it.

Folded to me ($105 stack) and I make it $20. Unknown BB ($82 stack) calls (!!), maniac cutoff calls.

Flop comes K52 two clubs. I check? Checked around
Turn is a four, not a club. I check again?

This must seem bad, right?

Your pre-flop play was perfect, isolating the maniac and pot committing him is ideal with a hand like yours.

Gross flop.

I'm really having trouble with a clear line here. If you lead half pot ($30) then being called or raised by the BB means you're toast, but he's only got $30 more after that. For that reason I dont hate your check to see what he does. The fact that maniac doesnt bet it really is scary though.

I wont even suggest a line here, I dont have one. I think you're damned if you do and damned if you dont.
