10/20- multiway considerations
 

UTG is reddog who i have 26/16 over like 90 hands and he seems relatively solid


button is like 40/30 over a similarly small sample and is a maniac but has some simple idea of how to play poker

I fold pf and I fold on the flop. This hand is going to be extremely difficult to play if you call. Pushing seems like a decent alternative, but I'd wait for a better spot against the maniac I think.

Easy fold imo.

Easy fold especially given your line. UTG's cold-call on this board indicates an overpair or decent draw imo and Button probably has at least two pair (well, we'll give him A9 since he's a maniac) in this spot. All of which indicates your flop lead is pretty bad since you're not comfortable facing a raise and you're not folding out better hands in the first place. If it was a lead for information then you've now acquired that and the decision should be easy.

fold now. i'm kind of torn on the flop lead, i think i'd want a better read on the button before doing this.

Re: 10/20- multiway considerations
 

fold.

i don't like a flop lead with ur hand on this board with 2 people behind especially considering how laggy button is

all i can think of besides leading here is check/folding flop correct me if im wrong
