Default Maniac has AA against another maniac...

I have been completely out of line at this table, I must have been hopped up on goof balls or something. There was a 2+2er at this table for a while (mmmmmmmmbrother) but he probably left the table understandably since any pot I was in was at least 3 bets preflop and many bets post flop. My stats were like 45/30 for this session. I think I ended up driving the guy on my right insane. If I raised he 3 bet, if it folded to him he raised me. I considered just calling his 3 bet, then decided to go the safe route and just put in the most money I could with AA since there's absolutely no way he is going to give me credit for it. On the river when he bet after I capped I was pretty sure I was beat, but due to my table image and the huge pot I felt like there was no way I could fold, because he could easily be doing this with bottom pair (I had been capping flush draws on flop/turn in multiway pots earlier and then getting to showdown with A or K high so he could easily put me on nothing). I'm glad I kept playing like a psychopath tonight, because it made me realize that I need to practice more shorthanded and control my aggression instead of going insane on half the hands. As much as I enjoy getting this kind of action in a 3 handed game with my AA, I enjoy having some kind of idea where I'm at so that I can bet/raise/fold with more confidence even more. When I capped the flop I felt like it was for value, when I capped the turn I felt like I was spewing, but it's just so easy to click that button [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. Any and all thoughts on this hand would be appreciated since I'm rarely in a game like this where there's no way someone is going to give me credit for a hand.
