Default Pocket 2s fang pre-flop 3-bet

Situations like this come up often.
Is this callable or not?

Tain
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $55.94
UTG+1: $48.75
Hero: $72.50
Button: $45.00
SB: $83.30
BB: $57.25

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $4.5</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero ?

I am playing BB on 2 separate tables and he seems a solid player - not doing anything stupid. However, this small raise looks weird.
Nothing on SB.
Also, I am scared that it will be raised again by SB.

So, fold or call and fold if SB raises again?

No, I fold. You are not closing the action. Plus, the SB raises from the SB which means a stronger hand in general.

Fold, sb probably has a little stronger hand because he raises OOP and after limpers. I think it's very -EV to call in this situation.

As said, fold not closing the action.

22 cant stand up on its own, but how about set value?

If there is a good chance that SB will just call I'd call this deep for set value. Without a read I'd probably dump it.

If SB 4-bets we lose our $4.5 without seeing a flop.

Yeah, I've got to go with a fold here after the raise and reraise from SB/BB. If SB repops, your odds go down the drain and you've comitted 10 BBs without even getting to see a flop.

However, I raise this almost 100% of the time from the CO with 1 limper ahead. What's with the limp?
