I play the maniac style mayself, but my best advice for playing against this type of player is to develop a fairly tight image at the table and then (assuming you have position on villain) 3bet his raises with hands in the range of AA-QQxx and any run-down 4567 and higher, pretty much hands that look to take down big pots if they hit. The reason I advocate this type of raising range is because raising only high suited pockets with a tight image is a surefire way to go broke; your hands are see-through. Raising low-high run-downs though, lets you bluff boards like 229, AK7, etc since even a maniac will generally respect a tight player's pre-flop 3bet.
