Raise sounds good. We're never folding.

I tend to make it a bit small here to induce calls from his random A5/77 etc that's block betting.

Guy is a complete maniac. A raise would probably induce a shove. Would you be happy to call a shove in this position?

being a complete maniac makes it more of a reason to call shove

since we're never folding, yes I'd be happy to call a shove

don't fold to half-pot bets from maniacs when you have an overpair on the river.
