Table is pretty good.
This is the BB's first hand at the table, I have never seen him before
BTN is in his second orbit and I had quickly defined him as textbook maniac. One of his first hands, he second limped/called preflop in the CO (I raised in the BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]), capped a three-way flop of J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], capped the turn heads up when K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] fell on the turn, then raised and called a 3-bet when 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] fell on the river. He held Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Flop: (6.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

This is a draw dead board.
Do I raise hoping the maniac three-bets me and he and I get heads up?
Is this a good place to smooth call believing that the BTN is more likely to raise if I call, then I can re-raise the flop.
Call/call and wait to raise a non-king turn.
