25/50 in Stars Noon 20+2.
Reads are that SB has been playing agressively and pulled off a (possible) squeeze play in the BB on the previous hand. UTG+1 has been playing loose-passive, and the rest of the table are leaning that way as well, with only a few pre-flop raises, almost all of which were called. My image is tight, as I haven't had much to get involved with.

SB (t5215)
BB (t1745)
UTG (t1265)
UTG+1 (t1630)
MP1 (t1020)
MP2 (t880)
Hero (t1625)
CO (t985)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t50, Hero calls t50, CO calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t250, MP2 folds, Hero thinks and then folds....
I think I have to give the SB some credit for a big hand, as I think it would be very unusual for him to try a squeeze on two straight hands without a big pair. With UTG+1 calling with most likely overcards or a mid PP, it is 250 into a 750 pot, so I am getting great odds, but the CO is yet to act, and I have no read on him.
I figure I have about 28% equity against SB and UTG+1 if I put them both on Sklansky/Malmuth groups 1-4. If I narrow SB to groups 1 and 2, I am about 25%.
I just felt that my hand was too marginal to continue given my read on the SB.
So... given my reads, good pot-odds, as well as implied odds against a big pair when I flop a 5, do I have a call? I will have T1325 behind if I call. Is my stack deep enough to make a call correct? Why or why not?
Thanks in advance.
