This is another hand from my first 10/20 shot, although a different table from my other hand post. This table is much more aggressive. BB in this hand is a maniac (or just tilting very badly) and has been losing a lot.

I felt just sick about not raising the river here. Comments?

BB had Q5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and CO has KJo and MHIG.
Against this very aggressive BB (maniac, tilting or both), who could have a very wide rannge of hands (as in like worse than he actually showed down here), I am still torn between going for the overcall as I did and raising. If I raise I will have to pay off a 3-bet when he has a better hand since I can't fold. However, I expect that he will often three-bet the river with a worse hand like the one he, in fact, held, which makes the prospect of facing such a three-bet not so bad (given that I feel I am very often ahead here).
Still not sure what is right. Any other thoughts are appreciated.
