Villain is 50/15/2, what's the best line to take to drag him all in?

Your only other option is to call turn and hope he fires again on river, which is unlikely. Your line is fine.

if you want to get all in raise him more on the flop (at least $6 instead of $4,5) and of course 4bet after he reraised.
Get him while he's hot.

Im 3 bettign PF but I 3 bet a lot of SB opens. To get him AI I think your line is fine, but your flop raise is a little small.

Raise the flop to 8 or 9 instead. If you do this, even his minraise will get him to the point where he'll get a decent price to shove as a 4bet. I'd also usually, after getting min3bet on the flop, just stick it in. I'm not sure people fold very often using that line.
