Yes, no?

yes.

I'd probably be mucking here but it depends on how loose you think he's opening. At a $5 sng calling can't be that bad though against the avg player.

[RexWoo]

Fold if he is an identified tight player (rare at the 5$, probably). I like the call but it's marginal and might even be bad if you are not confortable postflop.

[HajiShirazu]

I think this is pretty bad unless he opens real wide, usually you miss and have to fold to his cbet, and if you get action you are usually beat or chopping.
