Just fold or complete preflop (I like completing here with your stack + a king + 2 hearts) and fold to any heat.

This is a really good spot to win very few chips or lose a lot of.

if bb had more then I'd agree, but I think this is a fold.

I think the pf raise is fine, you're more than likely to pick up the blinds. And the bet size is enough to fold to a push. I would probably bet less on the flop, so that he can fold and not commit too much into the pot.
