Hero ?
Relax and put a "play" on them all:
Insist the dealer let the out-of-turn-action (OOTA) stand. After that, shove all-in.
Insist you wanna to limp for $5, and actually trow a red chip. Make sure the villains action stands. Than, again, shove it all the way in. ..., lol...lol Give them hell. ..lol .. Put the master "play" on them all and remember how was done. Every time is an OOTA in front of you, always insist the action stands as valid and "play" them all. (this is one of your hidden tools to use in the future).
The only thing you worry is AA/KK other then that you'll be fine with seeing all 5 cards. But most likely they will fold. Don't be scary and see any danger and imagine one of them may have the big pair. You got blockers on both.
Calling is not an option because you don't want to play fit/fold with AK. The signature of 2bet + 3bet most likely is QQ+ and AK. So, your 4bet shove must be interpreted as AA. All sane dudes with JJ,QQ and AK will most likely abandon ship. Exactly what you want.
What surprises me is the fact that most players always suspect AA/KK on 3bets. Why is that? Those hands are the less likely to be out when we hold AK.
We must agree that you don't want calling 3bet and play fit/fold. So, if you put a 4bet of say $200-$250 you cannot reevaluate nothing on the flop and have no room for a folding if you miss. And since folding preflop is out of question, the only play you have left is 4bet heavy NOW. And again since, we 4bet heavy preflop we all know that we must power play on the flop too. So, why not take it down right now with a shove?
Go ahead ,, man... Go for the kill. Don't crap on yourself, so to speak ...
Note: after reading some of the above posts, reply to your situation, I now realize again for the 1000th time why I am winning so much in live NL. When people advocate to either to call of fold it puts money in my pockets. (calling or folding both are very weak plays)
