Maniacs make me into a donk

[HiroNakamura]

What about playing the maniac in a limit game? For some reason, maniacs get the best of me. They seem to know when I only have Ace high and their bottom pair is good. Then they'll fold early when I do have a monster hand. To complicate matters are the calling stations that are in the pot as well. Sometimes I'll fold my hand believing that the calling stations who overcall have a better hand than I do, but in reality they're calling down with any part of the board (after all, they ARE calling stations). then the maniac shows down 2nd pair and I fold the winner and it puts me on tilt.

Do I just wait til I have a good hand and let them bluff into me if I have position? That feels so calling-stationesque itself. I've tried raising and reraising with my TPTK type hands, but the pot is so large by that time, everyone is right to call with their 2nd pair-5 out draws (which of course hit part of the time). I can't protect my hand. Just ram and jam and ride the variance wave?
