Playing vs Maniac
 

BB is a maniac... a few hands earlier he capped heads up on the river with 94o on a board of KK977... also has capped with bottom pair.

Thoughts on the line here? Especially curious about turn/river.

If villain is a true maniac then capping the turn is mandatory here...he could be doing this with any pair, a flush draw, a straight draw, AK, who knows.

If he bets into me on the river when the flush and straight hits I probably just call.

Given your description easy cap on the turn, then probably bet and call a raise on the river.
