This is worse case scenario. If his calling range is only QQ+, AK and the maniac folds, you will be putting in $5.01 more to win a pot that is $11.07 which is roughly 45%. AK vs that range is around 42%. I think the maniac calls enough and bb folds or calls with a wider range where it definitely makes up for the missing ~3%.

agreed in short whatever the percentages are it's close unless mr spazztard obliges. Having mr spazz behind me could turn a slightly EV- situation in a clear EV+ situation.

Would be tempted to 4bet or even fold Ako here but happier calling with a suited version
