Is my AA really ahead here?

UTG is either a maniac or a really good TAG who has been getting some serious cards as of late. I only have a few hands on him, and he seems to be raising them all and not needing to show them down. I really feel like I'm ahead here, is that bad?

After his turn cap i would check call the river.

So you are one of the people that check the flop when they cap preflop. I like it when I catch trips or two pair on the turn for free.

You should lead this flop, since you got a bet, you should definitly check-raise it. After the turn is capped, dont lead the river.

I hate the line of:

Check/call when most likely to be ahead
Lead out/cap when most likely to be behind.

Not betting the flop is ridiculous
After he caps the turn I c/c the river

Thanks. Was on some premium [censored] when I played this hand. I can give reasons for why I played it in such a way, and while they happened to work out perfectly this time with maniac showing AQ, I realize how retarded this was.
