maniac !

ok this guy was a maniac. Out of 98 hand i had him tracked 82% flops seen and 73% pf-raise. Obviously as you can see by my pf play i didn't give any respect to his 3bet pf. I thought the flop was perfect and i was way ahead and his $20 raise answered the little doubt that i had, therefore i 3 bet and got all my money in while i still had the best hand. I just want to know how often i can make these types of plays (mid pair) against maniacs with those stats and be ahead. Or do you think this is just horrid play on my part.
