Villain is very loose, borderline maniac (54/25/2.75 over 150+ hands) and betting aggressively / calling loosely with his draws. I decided to go for a check/raise on the turn, as he bets virtually all his range here (Turn AF is 4.7). Now I didn't really know how to size my bet so I just pushed, hoping he's calling his draws, but this seems like a bad overbet. What line would you take on this turn (and on the river) to maximise value ?
