2/4: AK vs maniac

I'd expect this type of player to call with worse (AQ/AJ/KQ type stuff as well as QJ, J9, 78, 67 etc).

I don't hate c/c flop but I usually own myself (stack myself) by calling down and then calling this river here and getting "bluffed" by 22 or something. So I just prefer to keep initiative on flop.

I'd play postflop the same as P4s, but definitely find myself getting pwned by "bluffs" at times. What's your plan for turn/river if we cbet flop and villain calls/raises?

That's so tough to say. I'm definitely not opposed to shoving over a smallish flop raise, pending the villain and feel.

Other times if they call flop and check back turn I would c/c this river.

(edit: a lot of this depends on how small you cbet flop and how wide they are being induced to raise or how wide they are peeling flop)
