Clueless: AK vs. maniac

Really frustrated by this hand. Villain is maniac (85/50/1.65 over 30 hands). This whole thing looks gross to me... help please!

Folds and looks for a better spot.

What do you think about my flop bet? Turn check?

I think your pf reraise is too big and your flop bet is too small. You bet less on the flop than you did on your initial pfr. Usually not a good thing.

As played I fold river.

I like the flop bet, maybe a little larger.

Fold the river.
