The guy was a maniac. 66/50/75 hands. Postflop after raising he basically bet all streets no matter what the board and his holding. Thoughts?

You could argue, that you should raise the flop for value, and hope he 3-bets a worse hand and keeps pounding. If he is enough of a maniac postflop as well, then this might be the play. Calling down is fine too, I think. Keeps the variance down a bit. Whatever you do, just don't fold!

This is obviously not a good board for A-high, though any pair below TT has been counterfeited.

So the question becomes does this guy raise non-broadways from the CO enough to make this a good calldown. Based on his numbers, though the sample is tiny, he must be raising some serious crap hands.

Given you'll split with another A some % of the time, I think it's pretty close. But based on his numbers you're probably good here enough to make it +EV with high variance.

I think this is super standard against a guy this crazy. You get to see KQ,55 and all kinds of other hands here.

You should use a hand converter like the one found here.

I don't see much value in raising that flop with no pair and no draw against a monkey who blindly fires chips with both hands. There are times when raising Ace high for value on the flop is a logical play, but I don't think that this is one of them.
