AJs overplayed?

[Peter_rus]

The boy is pretty LAG. I won him K-high twice and Q-high previous hand. He treated me as a maniac too. It seems - he wants my blood. I put him on AK(Q) or A-rag with 2pairs. Urgh, my mistake was expensive.

Maniac or not this river is way overboard and even maniacs get hands. Given your description I'd probably have gone that far on the turn but I'd have given no additional action on the river then calling his reraise. It's hard to get away from this given the player description but it makes sense to slow down at some point and not just reraise a maniac crazily. You have to try and put yourself in his shoes and think and realize that from time to time they get hands to.
