Taming the maniac [$6 HUSNG]

Player has shown to be maniac, openshoving crap like 53s and showing down. He has also shown a propensity to shove 10x pot on flops. How do we play vs this opponent with the apparent nuts?

A small bet looks weak but also has the best chance of getting paid off by his (apparently) dog of a hand.

We checked behind on the turn to look weak, repping something medicore like K3 or T8, so we have to bet imo. I think I'd bet like t100 and hope I got rr'd.
