SB in this hand is "tight villain" who generally plays tight and ABC. BB is kind of wierd guy who is much looser than the rest of the table that is playing very tight and straightforward.

Sorry if this is a standard boring hand - my first m/h post

I don't like the PF raise from UTG with A2s, especially since 2 of the stacks at the table are only 50bbs. And I don't really like the semibluff either. The villain is checkraising into a fairly big 3-way pot, so I think there is a good chance he has a set. Since you have position on him I think you are better off just calling here.

I think the preflop raise is fine, with the weird player in the BB. He will call with much worse hands than you, and this hand plays well when you have position on a strange player becuase you can control the pot (aka, keeping pot small when you just have top pair, or making it large with the flush/straight).

However, reraising all in seems a bit too aggressive here. I would flat call his check raise. You have 12 clean outs (diamond or 4), even though a 4 doesn't exactly give you the nuts. You also have 3 potential outs in the ace. This gives 15 cards that your opponent probably doesn't want to see on the turn. Your stacks are deep enough where you can just flat call here and see what develops on the turn.
