Very nice. Had a similar situation in a "live" [casino] 3/5 cash game, only I was on the other end.
Table was limping w/ a lot of typical pre-flop-raise hands [TT, 99, AK, AJ] etc.
2 MP limpers, button who was literally playing ATC pops it to 20.
SB exits, I complete w/ As9s as do the two MP.
Pot == $79 [83 -4rake]
Flop comes 3c6s3s, I check [this can be critiqued if needed], next two check, button pushes for $140
I stew on it, but let it go. I only had 220 behind, and any time the board pairs, I don't like chasing the flush-- it's just too easy to be drawing dead;
For me, it's along the lines of "I have $20 invested, do I really think this hand [at the flop] is worth $160?"
Button doesn't show.
Bad play?
Again button was playing ATC, [two hands prior, he lost a big pot to A2 two pair to his K6 two pair.
Sometimes this game treats ya like a battered spouse!
Two things about this hand.
1) Congrats FUTS, very nice pot!
2) FUTS: what were you doing calling a 4BB raise with 33? I know you were in position, but... you had 1/8.5 to hit the set, and without a set 33 is equal to NOTHING. I repeat: you were in position but I think this hand is an easy fold there.
Anyway, you have more than 200BB now to make these calls.

Talking only about your fold after the button push: in my opinion was an easy fold.
The best scenario for you there is think that the button is stealing the pot with garbage, but why put him there?
Lets count your outs to improve your hand: 9 spades, 3 As and 3 9s
16 outs is your best scenario, but against hands like AT, AJ, AQ you had only 12, against hands like TT, QQ, KK you had 11 (one less for the flush because he hit the full house)
With another player calling, then you can call and pray for no 66, if were only you against him I think you made the right move folding.

Luz,
Everyone has to randomise their play.
Expected session time was short about 30 mins. Oven goes ding, I go sitout.
Sat with $5, made some nice hands and was reading the table well, which was loose. I expected both blinds to call and if I hit my hand (set) it will be good and I'll get paid with position. Close to end of session at 29 mins. Bingo another double. Don't knock it when you get it.
Worst than that!
Fold a hand and run to the refrigerator, I take the food and put it under the table in the kitchen... run to the pc and play or fold the next one... run again to the kitchen and put the food inside the microwave oven a couple of minutes, and run again to play/fold the next one... I heard the oven calling me, run again to the kitchen, I take the food, I try to run again to the PC but... I forgot the fork! I come back to the kitchen to get the fork but I heard the soft calling me! I have a hand to play... Forgot the food in the kitchen and run to the PC... I see my pocket As and jump over the mouse to make a raise but... I'm sitout and I folded my pocket As
...I won't eat... don't have hungry anymore.

Where I get lucky luz is the lady of the house is fantastic in this department and can play and cook herself... and won't let me starve
I'll deprive myself of a sleep but not a roast chicken dinner
