25 NL...2 pair in big pot, on quite scary flop

[RaoulDuke]

First mini-raiser is 42,9 23,1 after 13 hands....reraiser is laggy with 58,6 11,1 after 51 hands....raises a lot of hands out of any position.

My hand might be a bit weak after the reraise, especially with 2 more players behind me...but I felt the pot was giving me ok odds for a gamble.

The board looks a bit scary....but not super scary, however a lot of draws might be out there....and sure there's the straight possibilety. The raise from the preflop reraiser doesn't have to mean that much, might just be a C-bet, but sure PP jacks is a hand that he could have reraised PF.

Think it smells overpair from the flopreraiser...but I guess he could have a lot of hands....seems lika a quite fishy player.

So the question is really, push or call right...a call might enable me to get out later if the action gets even bigger, but might also let someone draw to a flush or straight. A re-reraise on the other hand pretty much commits me, but might knock out their draws and get called by any overpair.

Anyway, it's already a quite big pot, there's a lot of people in it and the board isn't that good how would u play this???

I think I push the flop. Pre-flop is fine.
