Default Did I overplay this hand?

PokerStars 0.02/0.04 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Songwind is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, Songwind completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Songwind bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, CO folds, Songwind calls, BB calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Songwind bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Songwind calls, BB calls.

River: (11 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Songwind bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Songwind 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls.

Final Pot: 17 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 17 BB, between UTG+1 and Songwind.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by Songwind (17 BB).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG+1 shows 7d 6s (Straight, Ace to Five)
Songwind shows 5h 8c (full house, eights full of fives).
Outcome: Songwind wins 17 BB. </font>

I honestly cannot say why I chose to call this pre-flop, even from the small blind, but once I flopped two pair, I figured I was doing okay.

The straight possibility was a bit of a scare - after the raise (which I took as an announcement of UTG+1's straight) I was ready to check/call the river until the third eight hit.
