Time to get out, right?

[jtr]

OK -- I think it was time to leave this hand, but I'm interested in whether you guys agree. Button was a kind of grade 2 maniac, not totally insane, but very aggressive with marginal holdings -- although I had seen him slow down when challenged. On the flop I thought he could well be pumping a flush draw, so I pulled a stop-and-go when the blank came on the turn.

MP2 was slightly too loose but otherwise not too awful, so I was just starting to be concerned about what he was merrily cold-calling with.

When button 3-bet the turn, and MP2 was clearly along for the ride, folding seemed absolutely the better part of valour. Comments?
