Default 55 faces button 3 bet and sb calls

only been at the table for a little bit and was searching for another table to join so not much of a read on either of these players. Normally, I fold this to a 3 bet if I am H/U. How does SB calling change things if any??? Should we still be dumping it or are we getting enough odds to call vs 2 other full stacks????

Cake Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Cake-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($52.20)
UTG ($24.75)
Hero (MP) ($49.80)
Button ($60.13)
SB ($20.88)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 5, 5
1 fold, Hero raises to $1.75, Button raises to $5.50, 1 fold, BB calls $5, Hero ???

the pot is at 12.75 and it is 3.75 more for you to call, you are getting about 3-1 immediate. To profitably set mine you want about 12-1, so you need roughly 9-1 implied odds to make this profitable. If you think that you can get 36 more dollars out of them when you flop your set, I would call.

The amount you can expect to get out of them is based on reads and such, since you dont have many, i would be inclined to fold because you just dont know.

To explain the 36 real quick. Its roughly 4 more for you to call, and you need 9-1 to be profitable, so 4x9=36.

Thoughts?

I think this is a perfect spot to set mine.

I would like it better if we had position, but since we dont, and we dont have any reads on the players, I think folding is best, but I cant really fault a call either

I think this is a pretty marginal spot.
