Default Playing against the maniac, part 2

This is a follow-up to my other post here.

UTG is a 87/40/2.9 (up from the last hand after he's started to get even more aggressive postflop) maniac who loves to get into preflop raising wars.

I think my preflop line is pretty standard: 3-bet the maniac with a good hand to get him heads up and take it from there. However, super-fish (37/0/0.4) in the SB can't see the cap coming and tags along for the ride.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls.

(Hmm, no cap this time either. I swear he re-raised every other time he could after someone raised him pf)

Flop: (10 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB calls, UTG calls.

Top pair second kicker against the guy who will cap any 2 suited preflop -- but the board is dangerous and I'm worried about fishy getting great odds to chase whatever he's chasing. Do I have the equity edge to cap here with both of them tagging along? (Was kind of hoping fishy would get nervous and fold)

Turn: (11 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Ouch, scary card on the turn, but the fish folded! Maniac still likes his hand however, and I'm not thrilled about mine on this board. Too weak?

River: (13 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 15 BB
