Definitely 4b or fold pre (solver says mostly fold). As played, i think you have to call on the flop. This guy's 3b is pretty low so should be heavily skewed towards value and he shouldnt have many flushes. I could consider raising, but i dont think you have to. Dont think im ever folding here. If the turn is a brick and he blasts, reevaluate, but id probably still call for another street.
MP is rec, so the call or 3bet looks okay preflop.
Call on the flop.
Never cold call 3bets unless you got a plan beforehand like having a cold call 3bet range, which 99% of the people don't have. I think my only cold call 3bet/4bet range is like AA, even then putting 4b/5b is probably normal/standard. I guess the only times where it's ok is when the guy is mad aggro with 3bet but when facing 4bets he chicken out and folds alot.
Anyhow, preflop it's easy 4bet or fold situation.
As for the flop, obviously you can't fold, raising seems to be a bit crazy, hence calling is the only option.
This hand is mixed preflop between folding and 4betting. The fold is because you dont have good blockers, A/K are very important to have once you enter 4b territory. That bring said, if MP is a fish and SB therefore starts 3b a bit wider, you should always 4b. However, its nl2, the sb has a very low 3b %... Hard to imagine he is adjusting to having a fish at the table. So I think your hand is a snap fold
