Any reads on them?

Normally, I'd lay it down there, reraiser might have AK or a pocket pair if first raiser was a loose raiser, reraiser could have a normal raisers range and just be isolating. Still, without a good read, I lay this down..

Id fold this in most situations.

Normally I fold this too. There's at least a pair and possibly two players with pairs. Only time I might consider pushing is if my stack is huge or my stack is small.

I added up the chip counts and divided by 9, and the average was like 1793, so it wasn't a one table sng. Looks like either a 2 table or 5 table sng.

the first raiser was like all in when he raised, so I thought he had something because he didn't go all in, the reraiser was making moves with less than premium hands, like KJs. But when the guy that called that raise was fairly solid player who had caught a couple hands lately.

With this much action I did fold this. I figured I definitely felt I was up against at least a pair and I figured that the range of hands from the MrC could easily include AA, KK, AK, AQ, QQ.

I laid this done and sure enough original raiser had 88, Reraiser had KJs, and MrC had AQo.

MrC hit a Q on flop and KJs player went all in and MrC happily called and took out both of them.

I don't think that you can call with this much action in front of you unless you have a huge stack, which I didn't. This was a key hand that I didn't play which helped me to the money. MrC caught some serious fire and amassed a serious stack.

one thing i think about in these situations:

A: they also likely have high cards, likely making your hand dead...

B: someone probably has a pair...

so, even though you might be in a dominating position, it's more likely that you'd be drawing very thin...
