When the maniac fires out on a board like Q24 and you have KQ, you need to kick it up, as the maniac will pay you off with less. The BB just calling on the flop means he's probably behind, and you want to charge him for it.
When the BB flats the 7k on the turn, then you have to consider whether he's calling that much off with worse than your QK (though I don't know the BB's stack size here, which is important), and it's actually a tough decision on what to do. Much of this is player dependent -- whether you think the BB is the type who would still flat this much with a better hand, and how much of a chance he's flatting with a worse hand or a draw. Much of this is also stack size dependent.
In this case, OSA made the right fold, as the BB was flatting with a set, and the SB (maniac?) had shit.
You're missing the exact reason *not* to bump it up:
the BB flatting the flop bet from SB.
If he was HU with maniac, cool. But exactly what hand do you think the BB is flatting with? The instinct to throw more chips into that situation is why tournaments are profitable for people who dont throw more chips into that situation.
