I am pretty sure I butchered this hand, so please feel free to criticize my play...

villain 1 ($1200 stack) - he is the most aggressive player on our table. He has been squeezing and bluffing a few times.

villain 2 ($700 stack) - very passive and I would consider him as a weak player.

Hero ($1100 stack) - hero's image is very tight. I played tight on this table beacuase most of the players were playing tight and passive.

To the hand - 2/5 nlh. Villain 1 utg limps, mp calls, mp2 raise to $30, Lj calls, hero on the cutoff with 9c9s calls, villain 2 btn calls, bb calls, and villain 1 utg who limped originally now squeezed to $180. Everyone folds, hero calls and surprisingly villain2 calls.

My thoughts - I didn't 3 bet the original raise from mp 2 because it was coming from a solid euro typed player. If the squeeze came from anyone else I think would fold instantly, but from this guy I think he can do this with a marginal speculative hands.

Back to the hands..

3 way flop (~$630 pot) - 10d 8c 4s
Villain 1 cbets $250, hero tanks and calls, villain2 calls.

Turn ($1380 pot) - 8d

Villain1 now checks. At this point, I didn't know what to do. I was going to fold when villain1 bets again so when he checks I think he is weak here. He would be jamming with all of his over pairs considering the pot and his stack. I put villain 2 on AK or AQ. So with that in mind , I just yolo and jammed all in. What do you think of my line? Should I just check back and fold to any bets on the river?

thank you in advance!

The most agressive player at the table is limp/RRing UTG, this seems weird behavior for a LAG. Typically from most players this is AA/KK and occcasionally AK. LAGs don't usually do this, so difficult to know what to put him on, but very unlikely it's complete crap, unless you've seen him make this play before. I'm probably just folding to the 3bet pre, yeah sure we're in position, but we're nearly always gonna face a c-bet with over-cards, and unless we hit our set, we're going to play a monster pot with a medium pair.

If you’re not going to 3-bet PF I fold to the 3-bet when it comes back around. You’re in a bloated pot OOP without initiative.

I’m fine flatting, but when someone squeezes I shove or fold. If you really think he’s wide then shoving should be considered.

I agree with folding to the 3bet, but I also think UTG should be wider than aces or kings. It could be any kinda trashy hands like A2s, but I'm still not setmining or playing for stacks with nines here. Habitual squeezers love to squeeze when they see an opportunity to do so.

As played, I don't mind the jam otr after a "LAG" slows down and checks after getting his cbet called in a big 3bet pot.
