Default KK in CO against Uber LAG (Playing against maniacs)

A problem I have with my game is controlling my losses against maniacs. I don't have trouble extracting the maximum from them when I win; that's easy against a LAG. But it's hard to turn off the faucet when the chips come flowing out.

In this hand, the button is the Uber LAG. His VPIP is around 85%, and his PFR is around 70%. He will raise literally any 2 cards. Its a wonder he folds any at all, becasue I have seen him cap with 72o.

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">5 folds</font>, MP3 calls, Hero calls, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button caps</font>, SB calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

I know with 95% certianty that Btn will raise PF, and everyone will call around to me. Thats why I limp-raised; becasue I thought it had the highest +EV in this particular scenario. I almost never limp-raise.

Flop: (17 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>

SB is somewhat unknown to me, but I am a little concerned he is better than bad. On the flop &amp; turn, my goal is to protect my hand from SB any way I can. I'm trying to get him to fold. When he finally didn't fold the flop, I crawled in to my shell and went in to check-call mode. I think this was WEAK.

Turn: (14.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets</font>, SB folds,

Finally, SB folds! I know that the Button will not fold no matter what I do. If he has none of the flop, button will check-call to the end. If he has as little as A-high or any part of the flop, he will lead and re-raise all the way to the river. These are his only 2 plays. The problem with this is he just as easily have 73o for bottom pair, or QQ for nut set. I dont know of any way to get information from this type of player.

<font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero caps</font>, Button calls.

River: (22.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button caps</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 30.50 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 30.50 BB, between Hero and Button.</font>

So, how did I do? Knowing what I knew, how do you play the LAG?
