when do you fold a flush?

I think I should have folded; I'm not sure when. Any suggestions? (Button is a maniac, by the way, which further confused matters; no read on the other participant).

Depending on the site you were playing at, it might have been automatically worth calling after the T hit just for any possible royal flush jackpots they have.

Rule #1 - never fold a big hand to 1 bet. NEVER. You could have had 3 guys all bluffing and I guarentee you you would have had a sleepless night folding a winner.
