BB's 3-bet is on the small side, but he might think it's big, and in any case you are a dog to his range once he bumps it to $5 in pot that's already 4-handed.

So the main benefit to your play is folding equity, and I'm not sure you have enough of it versus BB once he makes this 3-bet in this situation. Plus, there is the very real danger that he has AA or KK.

No, when he raises that small with 3 people in already he has QQ/KK/AA a lot. Just call with position and good odds pf. With reads, against some opponents I'll just fold it. Its weak, but if hes a nit youre dominated here.

Totally depends on the player-here, if he is not a nit..... with that many people in the pot.... noone in their right mind is making that play with KK or QQ..... its a free ace on the flop........ its either AA or air.... as in jj-88 and other aces you dominate.......Its really not much better then a break even play if he isn't pretty aggressive, but it's a play i don't mind occasionally because i think its pretty close to even assuming AA somewhere around 10-15% of the time..... Also, I hate just calling here, if you call then everyone behind you probably calls also.... Ak is awful in a 4 way big raised pot... your almost never getting paid off and often your hitting ur card while someone else is hitting a set and then your stacking off......
