V: drunk maniac who has aggressively bet/called big bets w weak top pairs and draws alike. Has a big stack that covers hero (300)
Pre: V straddles btn for 5, ep caller, hero raises to 20 in HJ with AJo, Co and Straddle call, ep folds
Flop: (60). J93tt. Hero bets 40, CO calls, btn raises to 80, action on hero... 220 in pot,240 left in stack...?

what suit is t?
You should raise more preflop vs a button straddle and a limp. I'd say $25 or $30 is much better to discourage the button from defending. If it was straddled from UTG then your raise would be better.
As played, I think jamming flop is right. You're 60BBs effective in a raised pot with TPTK on a drawy board. Seems good enough to stack off.
If you have the Ace of the flush suit, you could make a case for calling.

Against a sober villain, the min raise screams value and I’d slow way down, Maybe fold.
Vs drunk maniac, shove for value.
