I think it's fine to 4-bet the flop. SB is saying (your raise is a BS position raise, I'm going to play back at you), and you're saying (no it's not, I have a real hand).

I fold to the 5 bet, basically I see his range here as AA, KK, QQ and AK, with QQ and AK being least likely by far. This guy isn't a maniac I take it?

Betsizing is horrible. I'd raise his 2.25 bet to around 8-10. Def fold to the 5bet.

Not liking the 4bet here though.

I don't like your min-raise 4-bet. Without reads I fold this...villain's range has to be pretty narrow, and even given a liberal range, your best hope is that you're slightly ahead of a coin flip.

I must say I agree with this to some extent; because you're suited, your hand benefits from possible draws. It would be nice to see the flop and find out if your draw is live.
