Default How to deal with super aggressive maniacs in low limits?

I have a decent return right now with 4 person HU SNG on pokerstars, however I continue to have a problem with maniacs who feel the need to push 2500+ PF with blinds at 30/60. This is the hand i busted out with and was wondering how to I deal with these types of players.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t60 (2 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t2450)
Button (t3550)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2450</font>, Button calls t1850.

Flop: (t4900) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t4900) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t4900) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t4900

Fold and wait for better spot. No need to go all-in with KQ when the blinds are so low.

I think that hand doesn't give us much information. Probably you can find other hands where villain took chips away from you with his style. I say that b/c staying afloat until you receive a premo is a key skill against those donks.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

KQ is a crappy hand to get allin with preflop in general.

If he's doing this every hand KQo is a clear push.

The only thing you can do is shove pre-flop. It will be too much pressure to call with ace high post flop. Shove fairly light, you will be called with a ton of crap. Sometimes they show up with AK. Life goes on.
