Default live maniac isolation

Just got back from a dreadful live session, no cards, nobody cares, anyway...

1/2 NL Foxwoods, Villian has $114, I have him covered.

Villian is a maniac. If I were to estimate his "live" PT stats, he's probably 90/75/1. He's been raising preflop with anything, and calling all the way to the river with Ace high.

I've been waiting for an opportunity to punish him.

I am in MP, folds to Villian who raises to $15 (standard for him just about every hand.)

Hero is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and raises to $50.

I want to isolate him here, plus I can be reasonably sure my hand is better than his.

Folds to Villian who moves all in for another $64.

I call. I figure he could be pushing with any pocket pair, or any paint cards.

Yes he had AA, pretty obvious at this point, any way I'm getting away from this hand? Hate the re-raise?

As a side note, any advise on how to deal with this player? Since he was directly to my right, and always raising, he was CONSTANTLY making it unprofitable for me to call with speculative hands such as 67s or low pocket pairs. Normally I might limp or raise preflop with such hands.
