I'm not sure I agree with this play, short handed against an overly agressive player. If he truely is a maniac, I would rather smooth call, then let him bet himself right into the ground on the flop and turn. You are such a huge favorite with KK that you can afford to push this edge I think, as long as you can make a read and let your kings go on those rare occasions when he outdraws you.
