-Strongly disagree that you should 4b or fold. If villain is playing 100/50, you will want to be playing some speculative hands IP and don't mind if blinds tag along.
About 8-10 years ago, CDC (Chris Daddy Cool) had great explanation of why having a 3 cold range in similar situation with bad blinds on the button is profitable
AvoidThe9to5 had a great mathematical explanation using hand ranges to explain having a 3 cold call range,is more profitable than 4 betting in terms of hot and cold equity (EV).
With that said, with how I play, I would only 4 bet or fold in Hero's situation as the cutoff facing LAGTAG UTG open, Bad LAG 3 bet. Please note I rarely have time to play poker anymore and only played up to 20/40 half kill when I used to play live excluding shots at Commerce and Bellagio shot tsking at 60/120 2-3 times like 10 years ago.
