Yes.

I'd raise this preflop since you are the first one in.

I don't mind the fold on the flop as SB is leading out into 4 other players so there's a good chance you are drawing to 2 outs. Also, the pot is too small and you have tons of overcards to worry about on the turn and river.

You have second pair with a bet and call in front of you on a fairly uncoordinated board. The pot isn't particularly big. SB has bet into 4 players. Even if you're ahead you often won't stay ahead. I fold.

Overcard on the flop. A bet and a call with two players yet to act and no good redraws. Easy fold for me.
