Im sorry but i hate your entier line.

Pre-flop i just fold here, sure where semi deep and might get paid off when we hit but every decision u will have to make post-flop is gonna be super marginal against this aggro fish OOP.
If you really wanted to play back at him here i would have prefered 3betting if he has a high fold to 3bet%.

I dont like floading OOP and if your gonna c/r the turn make it bigger imo,your giving him way to good of a price.
After he calls your c/r i expect him to fold river like never.

Basicly you over complacating a simple scenerio.
When u are up against a maniac like this it isnt rocket science to take his money, wait for decent hand(A9,KT ect will do against his range) and get into a pot against him in postion= profit.
OOP fancy bluffs against maniacs=spew.

Ditto

Make light calls in position and actually have a hand.
bluffing an 80/40 on air is mad as there not only aggressive but their madly loose so things like this river call are bound to happen

This advice is gold...I have went broke more times than I'd like, thinking that I could pull some fancy crap out on a maniac, just to have him bust me with a nothing hand that he completes on the river. Hopefully those days are behind me for the most part.
