His stats don't scream maniac and QJT9ds is certainly a hand it seems he would play this way. Rainbow flop so he's not getting frisky with an oesfd. And UTG could be laying in the weeds to set you all in with like QQ88.

I think you should fold it 3-way, yes. Of course he sometimes has QJT and UTG whiffed. With a 9 it's a pretty horrid line from villain (thus he isn't even representing it that well), thus he gets a donk label from me.

Pot 62bb on flop, V has 127bb (119 less than H) which is effective. He probably wouldn't mind either winning it right now or gii now either 2 or 3 way. The worst hand he has here is T876.

Absolutely horrible way to think about poker, probably straight from a book from 20 years ago. You should not be happy to "take it down because it's big" but to maximize your EV in every spot.
