I disagree with the whole "fish sometimes have AK also" saying, at least the concept that it would affect your play. If you think about the "sometimes" part of it, its about equal to as often as when you have AK.

You may be missing the most important point here, which is that going to war against a maniac can be risky with a hand as weak as top pair.

With this hand this there is nothing wrong with letting the maniac control the betting. Since he is near impossible to read, you need to be careful with your marginal hands and let him give you his money little by little. Those times you're behind this strategy will save you some bets.

Wait for a better hand before you start a raising war. You'll still get his money.
