Maniac with lots of chip to immediate left

[cavalier]

$10+$1 S&G at Party.

6 left. I'm in second with blinds of 25/50.

The maniac to my immediate left has gathered about 3400 chips. I have 1700. 3 of the others are right around 800. Last place is 300 or so.

Given the maniac got most of his chips calling pre-flop raises with MOSTLY NOTHING, how do you play from now on?

Stealing is almost useless!!!

Moving in with a "good" hand could cost you the tourney because he sometimes goes over the top with NOTHING and I'm not sure a call would be wise if you weren't pot committed pre-flop.
