JJ out of position against a maniac - PP 30/60

I have played about 250 hands against the villain, and he is one of the bigger maniacs I have seen on Party. Clearly gambling in every sense of the word. His stats are 84/52, and he has been killing the table with any two cards.

I seek out players like this, yet I often have no idea what to do against them.

Maniac raises in EP, folded around to me and I reraise in SB with J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Maniac caps and I call.

Flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I bet, maniac raises, and we cap it.

Turn is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I bet, he raises, I call.

River is A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I check and call.

I think river is the only questionable street in this hand.

How else would you play PF flop and turn? I think you did reasonably everwhere except for the river.

he should check-fold the river against a guy w/ those stats?

yeah I take that back. I think a call is necessary here on the river but I don't expect to win a large % of the time.
