Definitely at least 4 on the flop, maybe even an overbet (if I know villain is maniacal, as they tend to find that insulting). *Put yourself in villains place - You make a strong raise PF, board comes raggedy anne, and someone bets into you. Most players will raise this bet, as it could be made with so many hands, but you will certainly get a raise out of any overpair.*

Back to the real hand - Make a 3-bet that commits both you and villain to the hand. Hand over. No worrying about scare cards on the turn. No worrying about how to get your money in the rest of the way. Make the hand play out simply for you.
