Some hands (with reads)

--- Hand 1:
Villain is 61/18/1.56
He bluffraised me headsup on the river once and that was not his only suspicious action. I would consider him as tricky, really seemed like he loved to bluff. Is my line best?

--- Hand 2:

This time we´re dealing with a complete maniac. Button is 97/80/2.41. He went to Showdown with 70% of his hands. Everytime someone tried to isolate him (which was pretty much every hand) he just raised and capped no matter what he had. Surprisingly he won A LOT of these fights despite his crappy cards with runner-runner, he was running extremely hot (of course he eventually lost all of his money anyways).
I only had a few hands on MP, seemed to be loose and I thought he would try to get it headsup with the maniac when he caught anything at the flop.

--- Hand 3:

I am curious about this one on all streets.
BB is the bluffy villain from Hand 1.
CO is 45/5/1.30, only 40 hands though. He did nothing fancy so far, I had the impression he was a bit better than the rest of my opponents.
