2/4 Hand against maniac (78/25) idiot - sick spot

[OhioSt2k]

Maniac (78/24 over 100 hands) bets crazy amounts and likes to bluff with huge bets we have some history and I will post the tough hand decision and then the 2 hands of history we have together.

What to do here?

Hand 2
We felt he has either a bluff or a 4 and that we are good enough times to make the call.

fold in hand (based on description an bluff or semi bluff is prolly gonna be bigger no?)

i like 2

3, river is a fold...he has a T not a 4 btw

[homeboy604]

hand 1 call and see what happens on turn.
2 standard
3 i call.

[jballer88]

hand 1 i fold your never very far ahead if at all
hand 2 is pretty standard
hand 3 is a super easy fold, hes rarely bluffing his missed draws on this board or betting A high

[OhioSt2k]

with the line of check/call flop, here is my concern.

we know this guy will just bet,bet,bet regardless of his holding. so, if we call the flop and a non spade falls on the turn are we getting AI or just calling another large bet?
