playing for set value. I saw villain stacking off flop with TPGK and some weaker holding against other players.
I used to raise 88-TT against those mini raises, but that lead to a difficult spot to play post, if the board had any overcard that was not a A or a K.
I guess I'd raise against someone capable of folding.
Flop: (10 BB, 5 players) T♣ Q♠ 3♥

With that many players behind me, I wouldn't slowplay and get outdrawed here. That said, I'd would like to build a big pot against the maniac.

No freecard and building the pot. Should I go bigger? Overbet?

I hated that card, but I was willing to call almost any bet of this villain.
That said, I saw maniacs play that river in different ways. Some bet pot or overbet when they don't have anything. Some do it when they hit their draw.
I couldn't come up with a general guideline for this spot, against this type of players.
