Re: Playing like a maniac (or continuing with the semi-bluff)
I can only think this is decent if you plan to play at this table for a while long with the same 3 players. Showing down crap like this can get you a lot of extra action later. You have to adjust properly after this hand if you have to showdown your hand.
Raising the flop seems ok, sounds like you're behind for sure, not a whole lot of draws out there for him to betting.
Now he donk bets you again on the turn, this means he either picked up some weird double gutter, picked up a flush draw to go with his previous gutshot, or improved his hand some. Raising doesn't sound all that good. If you think he just has a nice draw here, probably better to just call, if you think he's the type of player that will give up on river if he misses and checks to you.
River fills up some random draws he could have, pretty ugly here, but then again he does check to you. You can bet here to try and pick up the pot, but you might be called by like...36 that made a small piece of the board. The only other merits of betting would be for future action.
So given that you decided to play this very aggressive the only part that I think is pretty bad is the turn.
