Generally the cards went my way, but interested in analysis/comments on the following two hands, in which I'm not convinced by my play.
Hand #1
This hand is against a maniac. He has 50/20 pre-flop and AF 3.8/4.5/2. Examples: he open-raises with ATo, calls my $35 limp reraise, and reraises all-in on a J83r board; he limp-calls a pre-flop raise w J5s, raises the flop with bottom pair, calls a reraise, pushes the turn when he hits trips.
In this hand, I have $392 and he has me covered.
I open raise to $9 w QQ UTG and only he calls. Flop is

Is this actually an easy call against a nutter? How do I play this to avoid this horrid situation?
Hand #2
I randomly limp UTG with

Flop is

Turn is

River is

Total pot is $540.
So ... how do I best persuade lower flushes to get their money in, while protecting against

How do you like my passive play? The final river call is awful (MP has $60 left with a $500 pot), and I'm not sure about the turn check. I quite like the turn and river calls.
Guesses as to hand ranges for SB and MP?
