Default KK vs maniac 1/2

This is my first time at 1/2 at party poker.

My table was pretty loose, and the villian was a complete maniac. At the time, I was pretty sure I had the best hand, but looking at it a bit more, I think I over did it a bit (i'm now maybe thinking - check/call at turn 3-bet).

When, if at all, should I slow down against LAGs? How often does a situation like this occur? Thanks.

Party Poker (9 max, 9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, SB raises, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls</font>.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB bets, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, BB calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero caps, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, BB calls, Hero caps, SB calls, BB calls.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB bets, BB folds, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls.

Final Pot: 36.5 BB?

P.S. the converter didn't work properly. i think there is an error in the hand history text.

The flop looks good. I am scared after he 3-bets the turn and also because the BB keeps hanging around in there. I'm not sure what he is doing. The cap probably isn't a terrible play at that point, but I probably just call down from there. I think your river play is a bit much though. But again, it really depends on just how crazy the player is.

It honestly depends on what you mean by maniac. Against some villians, like those that will bet/cap any street with one pair type hands, I think it is ok, though the ace on the river does scare me. Against a very loose aggressive that slow down when faced with aggression unless he has a stronger hand, I likely slow down, and just call the river.

EDIT: Wanted to clarify a little more. I have like 10,000 players in my PT datablase over like 65K hands. I have run into maybe 10 opponents where I am willing to put this many bets in with your hand. Your hand is not THAT strong.
