Re: 5-5 hand
I'd go with your fold anytime. In fact I'd have been tempted to fold to his first raise. That might be weak tight but I'd be happy with it, especially against a probably solid but otherwise unknown opponent. He could well have the straight, if not the set and want to knock out a flush draw. I think calling his initial raise would be weak, rather than reraising but less costly - however you need to hit your FH on the turn to have any certainty in the hand, so you're not getting the odds. If he was on a flush draw plus gutshot say, I think he's overplayed the hand, but you need more info on the button to place him on a hand, which in this case you can't.
