This seems very dependent on reads on the raiser. If he's been fairly aggressive, this seems like a good chance to take your shot.

Otherwise, it seems like a tough call. Figure, though, if you fold here, you'll likely have to make your move with a far worse hand (though this time you'll be raising, not calling, which is much different). I guess I'm just not sure without an aggressive read.

I'd fold, people to worry about behind, UTG raiser. But, you only have 5x BB.... What's UTG's likely range?
