Overpair on paired wet board vs maniac facing aggression.

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (5 Players) CO: $30.00
BN: $213.02
SB: $210.19
BB: $80.00 (Hero)
UTG: $20.00
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is BB with Q Q
2 folds, BN raises to $3.50, SB folds, Hero raises to $12.00, BN calls $8.50
BTN is extremely LAG/maniac. About 60% opening range from the BTN and fold to 3-bet is virtually non-existent. I don't have a lot of hands on him, but I have a note that he has a tendency to spaz randomly.
Flop ($24.50) 9 J J
Hero bets $8.09, BN raises to $16.18, Hero calls $8.09
I have a fairly large range advantage here, but I don't have a lot of Jacks in the my range. However, since maniac should have a ton of crap in his range, I think he doesn't have a lot of trips. I go for a small bet here.

Against a min-raise, I could elect to 3-bet flop. However, I elect to call to keep his range wide, expecting him to bluff turn/river fairly often.
Turn ($56.86) 9 J J 8
Hero checks, BN bets $28.43, Hero calls $28.43
I block QT for the nuts heavily, and turn brings a lot of draws, so I think I have to call here.

Should I just jam? I think not. I will just isolate myself against the top of his range. I have seen people in my pool bet/folding here.
River ($113.72) 9 J J 8 A
Hero checks, BN bets $56.86, Hero calls $23.39 and is all in
River is not super great for me, but my range is mostly pairs here and few hands with an Ace, and I'm basically pot committed, so I call. Again, I block QTs for the nuts and also block some QJ-type hands.

If he was bluffing with Ace-high, I can't really do much, but I do block some AQ.
