Yup, the position would be bad. But against 5 players you have huge equity with these hands as they have high card/suited/connected strength.

Good point, but what about your relative position to the pre-flop raiser? With those hands if you hit a nice flop you can check-raise a big field for 2 bets assuming the pfr leads out. You're sort of giving up an edge now to exploit a bigger edge later. Just a thought.

Edit: I missed the poker stove post just above, looks like I was on the right track.
