I'm not sure why we wouldn't want to keep the pot small here.  You were playing a maniac that would bet/raise every chance no matter what he had, yet you lead into him twice with a weak holding, and another caller in the hand.  Pre-flop you had A-10 which is not a great hand and easily dominated.  Why repop here, when you know you are getting raised.  After the flop you have middle pair, you certainly can't be sure of having the best hand right now, just check/call.  It would be different if it was just you and maniac, but it isn't, someone else as shown interest in the hand.  When the ace hits, now you probably have the best hand and should bet and call any raises but there is a flush and a straight possibility on the board so I prob wouldn't cap.  I would not fold the river.  I would check/call all bets.  There are alot of hands that you beat that might think they are best like KQ,K-10, A-8, AX, Q-10, etc.  Let me ask, would you also fold AK or AQ here?  If not then why fold A-10?
 
As played, I wouldn't fold here.  If you assume both players will raise and reraise you know it will cost you 8 more dollars for a total pot of $58.  Those are pretty good odds to consider laying down a strong 2 pair here.  You only have to be right one out of seven times for this to be the correct call.  Considering villans maniac tendencies there is a good chance you have him beat.  As for the other player, he knows villan is a maniac too and may also be playing with a less than strong hand figuring he was ahead of him.  So I think the chances are better than 7-1 that you have the best hand.
