Brad, did you ever sustain a head injury? WTF are we re-evaluating, we have the second nuts.

OP: since we just got check raised, AND there is a guy behind us, I'd say call, then raise the turn.
By calling here, we get another small bet from MP (who is likely folding to a 3 bet) and this encourages BB to lead turn, allowing us to raise with the larger bet size.
If we 3 bet, mp likely folds, and BB check/calls turn. (Perhaps we get lucky if BB check raises turn, but if we 3 bet flop I'm thinking a check calls more likely unless BB is a total spaz.)
If we call we get:
4 small bets on flop (2 from BB and 2 from MP) and 2 to 4 big bets n turn (depending on if mp calls two cold)
If we three bet flop we get:
4 small bets on flop (assumes mp folds, and BB just calls), and 1 or 2 big bets on turn.
EDIT: I just now read your post on reads and later action. I like the flop flatting the raise, but I think it's better to raise the turn. As played, I think we 4 bet and call a 5 bet.
Based on a turn and reads as stated, BB had a strong ace or a weak 4. MP either had a A8, AJ, the U-boat, or quads.
