I agree I dont like it either. Maniac is only known to pot when has nuts essentially though
If if went (me) bet 65% pot, him POT, would you like the fold then?

I folded because I block myself so much, that the river card will most likely be a bad one in my situation. The villain I am up against is a bit of a maniac and could easily holds 3b calling ranges that match this board(mid-high straights) I didnt really like the fold, only because opponent is maniac it may not pay off to call this everytime.
I think I should bet maybe 45-60% pot on turn, but villain is known to jam any decent STD draw/flush draws.
edit: I ran some potential hands in the stove, it looks like I can could be
a) 65/40
b) good% of the time im about 50/50
c) if im dominated(hit straight) im anywhere 30-20% equity

For the 99xx hand, wouldnt it not be optimal to just check?
You have a good hand but not a great hand, 1 blocker for the flush which is better than nothing.
The ranges of hands that can raise you are too large, K9-QJ10 with FD etc etc.
You are in middle position, so even if the guy after you fold you still have to deal with 1st position.
We are not happy with any raise from either player. So we have to think about that there are 8 cards on the field that we have to deal with(2 players) and the chance of someone not connecting well feels very low and someone connecting very well is high %. We are happy with a call or a check I feel. We also block one of our FH draws with the 6
Card we would like to see on turn/river, 6(2x left), 9(1x left), 4(3x left) 5(3x)(4 and 5 have to be runner runner essentially)
Mediocre on turn/river, K(3x left), 2(4x left) 3(4x left), A(3-4x left)
BadFlush Cards(min 8x left), Straight Cards(10-3-4x, J-3-4x, Q-3-4x, 7x 3-4x) (which also have straight flush draw implications too, but thats not really too big of a worry)
That would be my reason for the check atleast. The odds of the turn/river are not in our favor currently. At best maybe a coin flip situation. Im at work so I can run the numbers currently, but I hope you catch what I am trying to say.
Action could still go bet by Villian 1, 3bet by Villian 2, easy fold for you. It could go check-check-check, check-check into 3x call
While the I see the merit to bet(make people pay to see stuff) I feel the positions a little weird for us to do so

I am assuming you are polish so witam!
Maybe get videos for 1 zoom table(since actions pretty up-beat anyway)
Otherwise great vid.
easy x/call no reason to bet in that position, because you get into this exact scenario
