Default Crazy hand vs crazy maniac

Ok, a little background here. Villain number 1 (button) is a crazy maniac (74/48/4.5). When I first sat down at this table he had over 800$ (I have no idea how he got that...) and it took me 3 hands to realize he's crazy. He will bet, raise, call or fold with about anything. He's always pressing the "Bet pot" key unless he has the nuts or nothing at all. He just loves to bluff at river. He will put a big river bet at least 80% of the time, most of those are stupid bluffs. That's how he got from 800$ to 300$.

The rest of the tables are decent players just waiting to stack Mr Maniac. Villain #2 (SB) is 21/2/2.67 I have no previous stats on him, so his preflop raise may looks very low, but Mr Crazy is raising almost everypot. I have no history with Villain #2.

Comments on all streets are welcomed, I really had no idea what to do during the hand, I really look forward to hear you guys...

Do I want him to call or fold on that turn??? I thought at the time that I wanted him to call thinking I may be behind the allin dude, but probably ahead of crazy...

I just limp with this hand preflop, given the table conditions and this craziness. I want to make a big pot if I hit a monster flop but I think there is no sense is raising this and then playing bigger flops than we should against a station like this.
