9 handed. Someone's organized home game, splashier than your average casino table, everyone is 21-30ish, talkative night

Straddle is live, average stack is 200bb pre-straddle. Hero starts with 250bb (so 1250).

Weak-passive player opens to $30. Hero calls in MP with 77. Fish-station calls behind. Unknown calls from CO. TAG 3 bets to $150 on the button. Weak-passive player calls (I'd give him strong ace and TT-AA), hero?

Maximum 5-way to flop, as there's 2 behind us, a station and an unknown.

Noob move to call?

I think all 3 options have some merit.

Sure, call. At this game, it should start a trend of calls. You'll be playing a $450 - $750 pot pre-flop with possibly the best hand.

Folding would be OK too. Lose 30$ and take note of what happens.

Raising to like $700-AI here may get folds across the table, especially because the TAG's implied range is a bunch looser here.

Thanks. Raising was out of questions because of (1) my image is LAG-ish, and (2) initial raiser is capable of flatting his AA/KK/AK hands here (very tight and passive)
