The guy was in many many pots, was min raising most hands.. min betting alot post flop no matter how big the pot was. He seemed to fire big bets with strong hands, but was also a tilting maniac (80/50/3.8) so would also fire big bets while bluffing. (Think I saw him do this at least once). He is the jackpot bad crazy bad player, likes to get to SD loads too etc.

I've already lost one buyin to him throughout 2-3 pots before figureing out he really was a tilting crazy maniac and often FOS.

He did the ol' flop overbet here, so I figured he didnt have a hand he liked or wanted a call with.... and played accordingly.. what do you think?

I think you played this really well, but I think you probably should have pushed the river here....I imagine the way he is playing he would call with something as weak as King high.

Black, I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn't commenting on the postflop play, which, as played, I have no gripes with.

I was simply trying to illustrate the idea that re-raising maniacs in position with good TPTK type hands, ie ATs-AK and also middle pairs, will completely put them off their game and greatly enchance your chance of stacking them.
