LOL, my name is Frans. (Honest)

FWIW, I called here, fearing a flush or slowplayed set.
River was a brick, checked to me and I bet now, villain called, showing down Q7o.

I would raise against a LAG. Lot's of equity

Honestly, I just don't think I can pull the trigger and raise the turn. I would probably call down. I guess I'm a bit skitish, because 1 pair kills me more often then not. If the maniac 3-bets you...then what?

He's a maniac, so call down.

If he's a real maniac (like reraising with just a J, 8 or fd) I like to raise the turn since he won't slowdown anyway.
If he slows down, I call the turn and raise the river. You only really fear the king hitting everything should be fine (except maybe some straight-cards).

You can't be certain he'll bet again for you on the river, and he's pretty likely to call you down (in my experience, maniacs tend to be showdown-monkeys). I don't see any reason to give him a chance to get a cheap look at the river.

Go ahead and pop him on the turn.
