With 25bbs I would be tighter and not raise these types of hands from mp, only lp, exactly because of these situations.
In regards to the question, if you flat you will be left w/ 20bb's and oop. For the most part needing to hit the flop as villain (well covers you) will c bet putting you into a position of push/fold as you won't be able to chase w/ your stack.

So really I would ask myself what range would he do this with pre and knowing that is it worth getting involved knowing how hard you need to hit the flop for it to be profitable?

I like to fold twice in this hand. You're really handcuffed by your stacksize, #s of players behind and the craptasticness of 36s which makes me like an openmuck. Once you've opened + been 3bet you win the pot such a tiny % of the time oop that you are far better off folding instead of throwing more good $ in after bad

with 25 BBs I can't really fault any open from this kind of position unless someone is going to exploit it

his minraise smells like a fairly strong AJish hand who wants to iso your in his eyes supoer small open. Not matter how you want to play it out postflop your stack is 20x your investment which is good enough implied odds for most situations

because i play micro 180's and its a profitable open....i had a really tight image. knowing a lot of players are tightening up at this point i felt like it was a good spot....i can easily fold to any 3bet but ive never been min raised back....
