Dumb even with read?

This guy raised every hand and would keep betting regardless of whether he hit. He usually pushed earlier in the hand so I figured he was drawing and hadn't hit anything. He also threw these bets out without a second going off the clock. Even so, is this just foolish?

lordmohs is at seat 1 with 88.50
buddha 8 is at seat 2 with 45.76
r8ed is at seat 3 with 88.75
fghrh is at seat 4 with 40.90
KOCUR is at seat 5 with 80.30

fghrh posts the large blind 1.00
r8ed posts the small blind 0.50

r8ed: Qc, 9c

Pre-flop:
KOCUR: Raise 5.00
buddha 8: Fold
r8ed: Call 5.00
fghrh: Fold

Flop (Board: 3s, 8d, Jc):
r8ed: Check
KOCUR: Bet 8.00
r8ed: Call 8.00

Turn (Board: 3s, 8d, Jc, 9h):
r8ed: Check
KOCUR: Bet 21.00
r8ed: Call 21.00

River (Board: 3s, 8d, Jc, 9h, Jd):
r8ed: Check
KOCUR: All in
r8ed: Call 46.30

I would wait for a better spot. Wait till you have top pair good kicker and then check raise him all in.

Yes that is foolish, especially prf. Why not wait to hit at least toppair and take his money there?

Mike Caro on playing against a maniac

1) Call more often
2) Raise less often
3) Seldom value bet

Not too sure about this hand though, pre-flop call out of position and then calling the flop with a gutshot & overcard?

He had A7. This was last week, but I think he was pushing any time he paired. Since he didn't push until the river, I felt I had him beat. But when I look back at this hand it just seems foolish even with the read.
