Once in a while, even maniacs show up with aces.

Joe, even with maniacs to act behind you, that hand you had was a premo and there is simply no excuse for not calling the $16, although like I said I would then fold to another reraise rather than shove my stack even getting 2-1 or more on my money. But that hand can make top set, a nut straight and a nut flush (even with 3 hearts in your hand), which is the exact type of hand you can double or triple up off those kinds of players when you get to see the flop. If I played at the levels you do and knew you played that weak-tight, I would insure you never saw a flop when I had position on you and you didn't have AA/KK.
And regarding maniacs showing up occasionally with AA, they are in fact more likely in any such situation to be overplaying something like AQT8ds, and would blow their stack to you in an instant with top pair only in a raised pot when you flop a set or a monster draw.
