LAP means he's passive postflop. If you insist on showing down here, I would calldown after the first SnG. You have no reason to respect his preflop raises, but his SnGs on turn and river deserve some merit IMO. Just wait for a pair and then feed it to this guy.

check the river. you tried to fold UTG+1 on the turn. he has something he wants to showdown (or a draw, which you beat).

Yeah I realized this mistake right after I made it.

I tend to overplay my AKs badly, its like my brain shuts down when I'm dealt them.

Villain showed down Jd 7d for the two pair.

Re: AKo vs. a maniac?
 

If this guy is passive post-flop, and he's betting into your ace-high on the turn, I let it go. The way it played out, you gotta check behind on the riv, because the only hands that call your bet will beat you.
