I pass
Crazy bidders lose more often than they win, even if they are good enough to get people to pay them to play. Otherwise we'd see more of this at the highest levels, and we don't.
Yet you can't always tell when they have offered a number or worked you over. Since they usually do the former more than the latter, assume the former unless your hand and auction tells you otherwise.
Once in a while, the crazy guy will generate another of his favourite hand stories, at your expense.. but you'll beat him in the long run, even then.

Thanks, I thought this was an obvious pass, I came under some heat when we went -670 lol.

With this flattish hand, no fit and lousy ODR, pass is really a no-brainer to me 
Edit: can't believe this made. Pard must have blown a trick or 2 on defense.. LOL

Dummy hit with a great hand (KJT of clubs, HK, Kx of diamonds). Partner had a stiff club so if you lead ace and a club you can beat them 2, but I led the jack of hearts which seemed like the most normal lead ever.

red/red imps, RHO is a pro but REALLY crazy.
3 passes to you you open 1N, partner bids 2C, RHO bids 3D (lol, pass in third seat?!), partner reopens with a X. Your bid?
Thanks, I thought this was an obvious pass, I came under some heat when we went -670 lol.
To show that my description of RHO was accurate, he had

Presumably dummy held something like
♠ x x x ♥ K x x ♦ K x ♣ K J T x x
Leaving partner with
♠ K J x x x ♥ Q x x x x ♦ T x ♣ x
IMO, partner's X of 3 ♦ and Jlall's pass both seem normal. Rub of the green again
