Reviewing my hands and continuing on the topic of "less meekness", I found this one interesting:
Villain is a maniac fish who plays 65/21/11 AF 5. Roughly, his "style" is "take any two cards and bet them to the river regardless". And he is a winning player still, because other players often tilt to his J5o getting to pair on the river and start to send him all the money.

Hero...?
Should I bet for value? Or my straight has suddenly become a bluff catcher?
In general, if I bet, will I be isolating myself against better hands (flushes) and making any weaker fold? Should I try to induce a bluff by checking, say from a pair or busted spade draw?
Cheers,
edir: busted diamond I mean, obviously.
