Default Pocket 5s in the big blind with a short stack

First, I want to thank everyone here. I started playing last summer and started reading this site late last year and it's been a big help (I used to limp with Q8o). I don't get a chance to play a lot, and its only for entertainment, I hope posting and discussing hands will overcome some lack of experience.

$10+1, no reads. First hand of level 4. While not the shortest stack, I'm less than 5bb after posting.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

Hero (t575)
UTG (t1245)
MP (t185)
CO (t1430)
Button (t2420)
SB (t2145)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of t100. CO posts a blind of t100.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t225</font>, SB calls t175, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ??</font>


Fold and wait, call and push flop, or all-in?

Looks like the converter messed up, sorry I didn't check. UTG didn't post a blind. There were three folds and the button raised to 225 and SB called.

I think it's very close. Had SB folded it'd be an easy push, but both are almost certainly going to call your push now. I might push at the chance to triple up but I honestly think I'd fold as well. Tough hand.

How much dead money do you think you can get into this pot? And did button raise over two limpers?

This is by far the best hand you're seeing, and you're going to be bleeding off a quarter of your stack in the blinds, but there's a lot of action.

How bad does MP suck? Can he fold this? Can SB fold if button calls?

It's not the situation, but it's certainly the best hand. I'll take a coinflip if you can get t400 of dead money into that pot.
