Must call spot vs stranger? Or just be polite and fold? Etiquette Q?

Same crazy cash game. 

50/£1 7 handed.

UTG straddles to £3.  Called round to me on button with As9s, sat with around 120BB's.  Opt to take a flop multiway IP (£3 into £13.5 - likely being £21).  SB calls  BB jams for £85.  Folds round to me, SB folds out of turn.

I've mentally folded, but then jammer shows a card face up to his friend at table, presumably thinking the hands done.  Card being 8s.

Worst were up against is 8's, being a flip with added dead money.  Also easily be A8 or paint 8.  Hand selection is pretty wide in this game.

Do we be polite and muck our hand?

    You know I did :p

    Just interested on peoples opinion on the etiquette side of it :)

    I did offer to chop the dead money in pot - rather than run a board.  Though was more than fair.

    A more interesting/closer decision for me would be if he flipped over a 9.....

    Now what?

    even mucked in cash?

    Tournament always.

    Not sure when he shows (a) 9 tbh. 

    Prob a fold readless for me.  35% isnt enough for some of us :p

    I think this is the most polite way to do it. Either that or run it twice. However there's nothing wrong with calling knowing that you are at worst flipping.

    I only run once or three times.  Twice is just pointless heartache IMO.

    If you run twice and win both or lose both you may aswell as have played as was.  With the running twice and winning half, you may as well have just chopped pot there and then w/out running multiples.
