Default Confused by donktastic play, what line do you take?

One of my first few hands at this table, and I have no real reads on BB here. SB is a maniac with stats around 60/40/3 and is on my buddy list. I am afraid of two pair after it comes back capped. How do you guys play this. I think folding an overpair here is out of the question...granted it isnt an overpair after the queen hits, but I didn't see anyone go nuts when it hit. thoughts?

You can't fold anywhere. Even if you knew you were beat on the flop and turn you have odds to chase the gutshot, and on the river the pot's just too big and 76 just got counterfeited.

I play it the same.

well, im not sure whats donktastic.

the only questionable street is the river. with no read i guess you have to call. bb could have an overplayed a7 or pair+flush draw.

The donktastic part was that villain rolled 7 3 for top pair no kicker on the flop with the ass end of the straight draw. I could not believe he capped with a pair of 7's with a three kicker there, but oh well. I guess I missed a raise on the river but I thought I could be behind to a better hand and wanted to see the showdown cheaply.

You can't find a raise if you're readless, which you were in this case. You played it fine.
