This finished him off. All in EV Diff, I should have made $5.89 more..

In just these six pots, we paid $2.35 in rake. This is PLO5 we're talking about... so almost 50 big blinds in six pots. :( Though I still had a profit of $1.63 in the end.

Now that you know what I knew, anything else I should have played differently?

You butchered hands 2 and 3. Hand 3 is an easy fold on the flop. Against maniacs there is no point trying to get tricky with marginal hands. You know he is just going to give you his money so wait until you have 2 pair before going to war in these spots.

When you look at Hand 2, it's obvious the guy was saving something for a river bluff because he had less than 1 pot sized bet on the turn and didn't make it.

I would have either folded on the turn or shoved, check calling just lets him catch up when he has a draw or 1 pair. The 9 was actually one of the better river cards for you as it means now only an ace or 9 beats you, so folding when it hit after calling the turn made no sense. If the river was a ten it would have made for a much easier fold as now there are loads more 2 pair hands plus straights that beat you.
