Preflop
MP+1 3-bet against an UTG open, and he used a very large sizing of almost 4X, where 3X would be more typical in position. In spite of that SB decided to cold call from the worst seat of the table. Here alarm bells are really going off in my head, because unless he is clueless, his widest range is going to be something like TT+, AK. And I dont think, its always a capped range either. Some players will know, that if they want to have a range for cold calling a 3-bet, it needs to be protected by including AA and KK. So given, that you are against two very strong ranges, monkey in the middle and not getting the best price in the world, I might even make a nit fold now and let the other guys do, what they want to do.

Flop
MP+1 should also know, that SB is showing extreme strenght by cold calling a 3-bet out of position, and despite that he choose to make a large C-bet into two opponents. And with all this display of strength, SB choose to make a raise for more than half the effective stack, which mean, he has committed himself against both opponents. So if you get it in here, what are you hoping to be up against? Maybe one of them can have the nut flushdraw, but that has decent equity, and all made hands have you in complete jail. They are not playing like this with KQ or QJ, but their ranges are full of hands like AA, KK, QQ and TT. Maybe occationally another AQ, but then you are calling for a chopper. So for me this is a sad but prudent fold.
