Default NL50: AK, 3 maniacs, 400BB stacks

Was playing an insane table last night. 3 guys were involved in virtually every pot, with 15BB being a standard open raise, huge bluffs everywhere, and very thin calldowns (3rd pair) for 200BB happening alot. I was pretty much card dead and only getting involved with premiums. Had only shown down 1 hand though. No stats as I was playing HUDless.

I got most of my stack in this hand against the loosest of the three.

SB had J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (high card King) and LOST (-$103.55)
Hero had J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (a pair of Jacks) and WON (+$106.05)


The guy on my left was probably the biggest loon, and had shown a tendency to squeeze big with ATC, especially against the open raiser, who he was having a personal war with.
So I decided to flat call AK here and hope he squeezed again. The caller of the big rr is the same guy that called with J5dd in the hand above.

So the question is do I make a 4-bet to around 50, or just shove now? Seeing a flop didn't really appeal knowing how lightly I would be called or bluffed off the best hand, but is shoving overkill here?
