It's 2 inches with legs. It's very fast, made some web in the jar and attached to the bottom by using it.

This looks like Tinus peregrinus, a fishing spider in the family Pisauridae - http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2011/12/spider-sunday-tinus-peregrinus.html

Is it poisonous?

We let it go back in the backyard. Have not seen it again since then.

Like the vast majority of spiders, it has venom glands and thus technically is venomous, but it is harmless to humans - see the 'sticky' note on spider bites at the top of this forum...
