Meh I do this too, never ran the math tho so idk

I think this is ok. We often have 6 outs if behind, there's likely a bunch of FDs in his range and it could easily be some kind of bluff with whatever. I think we have 25ish equity vs his calling range (assuming his calling range is PP, FD, 4x 9x).

Does 44 stand for wtsd or hands?

Ok that makes me a bit less likely to pull this move. In that case I'd like to have some real read that he plays like an idiot. It's probably still ok though.

It's fine as long as it doesn't tilt you when he calls you with 33 and wins.

Re: FT200 No pair against a maniac
 

I'm not sure if I like this, except for all out bluffs he is going to be ahead. If he really is a maniac, he isn't folding anything that is ahead of us and calling very little that is behind. Against guys like this I fold, you can always find better spots against them.

Do you mind giving your reasoning here? I honestly don't see how this could be anything but a spew against a maniac.

Word of advice: It's generally a good idea to make a hand vs a 68/41 and then bet said hand. A hand would be a pair or greater.
