This is kinda tough. Don't wanna 4b call vs MP or CO because the cold 4b looks super strong and they are probably 5betting QQ+,AK at the very very best scenario.

Co's specific 3bet vs mp stat would be useful to know, though sample is not big enough to go off.

I guess just call the 3bet and if MP 4bets it would then depend on what CO does. If CO folds I think I flat MP 4bet, and if CO 5bets I fold, if CO calls the 4bet I probably fold also.

Straight up folding pre with no money invested in pot is also worth considering, and if I was in sb/bb I think I'd just fold pre here.

4bet/folding might be an option here but it depends on the villains involved. a cold 4bet here looks very strong and we could fold out QQ and AK. If they 5bet they will almost always have KK+

Against players with so little stats best play is to fold here. 4bet/fold is really and option as mentioned before, 4bet all in also if you fell that you have best hand too (but that play will increase your variance in long run, which in nl5 not nessesery). but cold calling here with AK is really worst option, its definetly biggest -EV option in the long run.
