Here I was very hesitant whether to call his 3bet or not. Finally I decided to look at the flop because I had a note on him that he is a weak player, so his 3bet didn't mean that he has a premium hand and because of pot odds. The factor which made me incline towards folding was that I would be somewhat pot commited after the flop with this short stack. What do you think was the best play here?

"weak player" doesnt really tell you anything about whether he likes to 3bet or not. folding without more info is ok

Problem here too is that he has only 455 chips behind after his 3bet. So calling is newer a option here. Without any reads on him I would make a fold for sure, because his line looks extreme strong to me. He will most likely 3bet shove or calling with his weaker hands.

I would just shove preflop.
